Indeed. I posit that as we get closer and closer to simulating how the human brain works in the pursuit of artificial intelligence, we're going to start seeing more and more of the same "bugs" that humans have (logical fallacies, susceptibility to illusions, mental illness, etc.)
You think your job sucks now, just wait until you're dealing with the general AI over on the UX team that's trying to get your ass fired because it's fostering a 3 year old grudge over that time you said Chappie was stupid.
At first, I thought it was surprising that a language model with a restricted vocabulary (e.g. banning the letter "E") acts significantly more "mentally ill", and then I thought about how I would come across if forced to use that constraint all the time, and I realized that maybe I'd appear mentally ill too!
You can play with LMs with constrained vocabularies here: https://huggingface.co/spaces/Hellisotherpeople/Gadsby
