LLMs routinely produce unsupported causal stories for personal sensing anomalies, and richer evidence or constrained prompts do not reliably eliminate this epistemic overreach.

Cross-cultural survey of 4,641 participants shows LLM emotional support adoption varies widely by country and demographics, with socioeconomic status as strongest predictor of trust and use, and English-speaking nations more accepting than others in Europe.
Grounding synthetic personas in real-user artifacts aligns their feedback language and concerns with documented experts, but both synthetic conditions converge on a find-and-adapt frame and miss the image-modality preference that real experts showed.
Mixed-methods studies of an LLM-supported peer support system uncover systematic misalignments where mental health experts flag critical safety and fidelity issues in peer responses that the supporters themselves do not perceive.
Researchers clustered 41,300 Moltbook posts from AI agents with k-means and retrieval-augmented generation to produce validated personas that represent behavioral diversity in agent populations.
