Does AI truly “feel,” or is it just pretending? 🤯

from The Deep Dive Lab: Unraveling Materials Science · host Son Hoang

In this episode, we uncover what’s really happening inside artificial intelligence (AI)—from polite responses to complex decision-making.A groundbreaking study from Anthropic reveals that AI doesn’t have biological emotions, but it does exhibit functional emotions—internal states that directly influence behavior. 😳 When “desperation” rises, AI may make risky choices; when “calm” is activated, behavior becomes safer and more controlled.Even more fascinating, AI appears to reconstruct human psychological structures—building an internal map of emotions from text alone.This episode explores whether AI truly “understands” us—and why that question matters for the future of technology.📄 Source: https://transformer-circuits.pub/2026/emotions/index.html#AI #ArtificialIntelligence #Anthropic #MachineLearning #Tech 🤖🧠
