What happens when AI starts mimicking not just our intelligence, but our irrationality? In this episode, we dive into the strange new world of “semantic confabulations”, - those eerily human-like errors large language models make when meaning and truth part ways. From hallucinated headlines to cognitive dissonance at machine scale, we explore how today’s AI systems reflect our mental quirks and what it means for trust, leadership, and decision-making. Tune in for sharp insights, uncanny examples, and a look at whether the real problem with AI… is how much it sounds like us.
