'Perceived Shared Understanding Between Humans and #ArtificialIntelligence: Development and Validation of a Self-Report Scale' - an article from the American Psychological Association (APA) in ' #Technology, #Mind, and #Behavior ' on #ScienceOpen: scienceopen.com/document?vid=f

ScienceOpenPerceived Shared Understanding Between Humans and Artificial Intelligence: Development and Validation of a Self-Report Scale<p xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" class="first" dir="auto" id="d11201157e170">The perception of shared understanding between individuals is key to constructive meaning-making, effective collaboration, and satisfying interaction outcomes. Recent scholarship indicates this operation extends to human–artificial intelligence interactions such that a validated instrument to capture humans’ perceived shared understanding (PSU) with artificial intelligence is key to advancing work in that domain. Building on extant exploratory work, this project develops and initially validates a PSU scale in two studies. Participants shared past large-language model conversations and then reflected on them to respond to a pool of candidate scale items. Exploratory factor analysis yielded a single-factor, eight-item solution interpreted to represent a <i>social-semantic</i> construal of the artificial intelligence’s shared understanding—that is, that they are sharing meaning with someone. The scale demonstrates significant associations with theoretically relevant measures; factor structure and convergent validity are replicated in a separate sample. This novel instrument points to a convergence of sociality and meaning in PSU and serves as a springboard for future research and practical applications. </p>

I recently stumbled upon a #YouTube #Video where people are blaming/mocking themselves for not speaking perfectly #English. I don't understand that kind of #Behavior. #Why? Seriously, why? For me, it's most important that I can call an #Ambulance, report a #Fire or a #Crime in a #Foreign #Language. To be capable of socially acceptable #SmallTalk is of course also a nice #Ability to have. But dealing with an actual #Emergency is IMHO more #Important than asking a #Stranger how they feel today…

General Stanley McChrystal: "Fear isolates. It pushes us into ideological bunkers, surrounding us only with those who think like us. And when fear festers, it mutates. What begins as anxiety turns into resentment. Resentment hardens into hatred. Hatred strips away our ability to see others as people. The result is a society riven by suspicion and hostility."

I am gifted at spotting manipulative #behavior.

It comes from being raised in an environment where abuse, neglect and manipulation was constant, so I learned how to spot it, and even do it better than those who did it to me.

It's a curse and a blessing.

I am never used of for long, and use my kindness/time on those who deserve it.

Though it makes it hard for romantic relationships, as everyone is manipulative without meaning to be at times, and I scare easily.
