Thanks to BR - Bayerischer Rundfunk and ARD for inviting me to speak about the topic “Can AI lie? How manipulative are chatbots” in an episode of the IQ -Wissenschaft und Forschung Podcast.

We discussed some recent studies on "deception abilities" in LLMs and I am happy to see that what me and colleagues Benjamin Lange and Katharina Prof. Dr. Zweig had to say wasn't condensed into the clickbait headlines it could have been used for and was rather used to raise awareness about limitations of GenAI and human control and responsibility to decide where to use LLMs and where *not to*.

Some aspects discussed were #hallucinations, #sycophancy, the definition of what a #lie implies, an understanding of #truth, #theory of #mind, #intentionality, and consciousness.

I love intentionality as much as I love happenstance.

🎥 Sing like no one is listening. Draw like no one is watching. Write like no one is reading.

I really enjoy people showcasing their capabilities especially their creative skills. The only thing that will make me happier is if I get a chance to meet the person behind the craft to share how amazed I am to their face and that there are dozens of us who appreciate their craft, their creativity and their skills.

My grandfather drilled this into me, “Sing like no one is hearing. Draw like no one is watching. Write like no one is reading. A skill is best done when the act is innocent.”

I wonder how he might process our age of social peacocking. Whatever his faults, lacking authenticity or conviction wasn’t one of them. Maybe, that in itself, is the skill I practice when I follow his words.

Curate your environment to support your hope. What you let in determines how you feel. #intentionality #hope #environment

Dare to be Disconnected.

We are living in a permanent state of emergency, where every notification feels like a demand and every scroll feels like a duty. We have mistaken being informed for being engaged.

True presence is a revolutionary act in an attention economy. When you disconnect, you are not missing out. You are opting back into the physical world. You are choosing the air in the room, the weight of a book, or the person sitting across from you

Silence is not an empty space. Instead, look at it as it is where your own thoughts get a chance to be heard.

What would happen if you gave your full attention to something that couldn't give you a notification in return?

Dare to be forgotten.

We have all been trained to think if we did not document it, it did not happen. We have turned our actual lives into content, constantly performing for an audience that isn't even really watching.

There is freedom in the undocumented. If you stop worrying about how a moment looks, you will start noticing how it actually feels. You no longer ask, "How will this look?" and instead ask, "How does this feel?"

Privacy is not just having secrets. It is having a life that belongs to you and not a data center. Some things should not be for sale. Some things are better when they are just yours.

What if the most important thing you did today was something nobody ever found out about?
