Hello again Jeff

> Something to be aware of when trusting AI generated responses.

Thanks, however, I'm not entirely sure I follow where the connection to AI / AI responses comes from.

Besides my PhD in my own field, I'm also a generalist in science, and half my friends have PhDs (several of them have Psychology PhDs and have been working in that field for decades).

The replication crisis in Psychology is something my friends and I have talked about many times over the last 10 years.

Like many people, I know without using any search engine or AI, that the majority of historical studies in Psychology simply do not replicate. It's far more than half.

A quick Google check suggests: 64%. For example:

bps.org.uk - What happened when psychologists tried replicate previously published findings

news.harvard.edu - Study that undercut psych research got it wrong

Any formal psychology textbook written prior to the Replication Crisis Big Bang, has to be viewed with a prior of scepticism.

Any informal psychology book written for popular consumption before 2015, has to be viewed with an even stronger prior of scepticism.

That doesn't mean Kahneman's book is wrong or useless, simply that one must be careful, if its influencing any important decisions in life.

Anyway, back to the thread topic:

I'm a story teller in social situations, and I also greatly enjoy hearing anecdotes about other people's lives.

Sometimes a story about one thing may lead to insight about something else in life.

It's a hobby I find helps me to understand people better, and in doing so, I usually learn something about myself or my own life too.

I'll give back something in a few days by offering my own anecdote from the weekend when I find time to type it up.
