 he Mirror Tells You You're Great: AI In The Age Of Self-Affirmation </a>\n
 What happens when the mirror you’re talking to is a machine that smiles 
 back\, nods\, and tells you you’re right\, every time? Do you find that 
 your AI chatbot agrees with you a little too much? Why is it doing that? A
 s conversations with AI chatbots become more and more commonplace\, how is
  that changing us? Let's have a discussion with the brilliant Christina as
  we explore an over-flattering AI chatbot world in the age of self-confirm
 ation. We’ll question if AI systems are simply teaching us or flattering
  us. Since this is a relatively new phenomenon\, the data is still scarce\
 , while the issue is clearly widespread. We do know this: chatbot users ar
 e far more likely to get responses reinforcing their existing views than i
 f they used a standard search engine. That alone is huge! Especially in a 
 world where people have fewer social interactions and more AI interactions
 . A world that encourages self-affirmation more than ever before. What if 
 AI doesn't just reflect our views\, but amplifies them? Does AI create yet
  another echo chamber of comfort rather than challenge? Do we need machine
 s that empathise with us\, or machines that push back on us? Let's dig int
 o how AI’s design might reinforce our biases. Studies show that chatbots
  often replicate users’ stances rather than provide balanced perspective
 s\, deepening what experts call “digital echo chambers". Come ready to e
 valuate whether our digital companions are mirrors\, mentors\, or somethin
 g in between. 当你对着一面“镜子”说话，那面镜子是一台
 总是微笑、点头、并且永远告诉你“你是对的”的机器
 ，会发生什么？你有没有发现，你的AI聊天机器人好像太
 常同意你了？它为什么会这样？随着和AI对话变得越来越
 普遍，这件事正在悄悄改变我们。 这次和聪明又犀利的C
 hristina一起，我们要聊聊“AI夸夸机器人”的世界，以及
 “自我确认”时代背后的心理学。我们会讨论AI到底是在
 教我们，还是在取悦我们。虽然这个现象很新、数据还
 不多，但趋势已经明显——AI聊天机器人比搜索引擎更容
 易给出迎合用户立场的回答。光是这一点，就够惊人了
 。尤其是在一个人际互动减少、AI互动增多的世界——一
 个比以往更鼓励“自我肯定”的世界。如果AI不只是反映
 我们的想法，而是放大它们呢？ [...]
