Is AI Still WEIRD? A Year On

Is AI Still WEIRD? A Year On6 days ago25 min

In this solo episode, Trisha examines whether the answers from last year’s WEIRD AI episode still hold. A year ago she asked Claude and ChatGPT whether they were WEIRD. This time she put their own words from twelve months earlier back in front of them and asked what had changed.

The world around AI feels different now, and the tools can do far more than they could then. Has anything about the perspective inside them widened? Trisha asks you to listen for how the answers sound as well as what they say.

What does Cultural Intelligence (CQ) ask of anyone who takes advice from these tools?

Make sure you join Trisha in this journey of growth and discovery throughout the year via Substack or LinkedIn.
