Abstract

"A few weeks ago, I found myself sitting with a question that keeps resurfacing as AI becomes louder, faster, and everywhere. What happens when the models know everything about our lives except the one thing that matters most in the moment. It is remarkable how much of human decision making is driven not by external information but by internal states. A tightening in the chest. A sudden clarity. A quiet discomfort that redirects us before we can explain why. These signals guide our choices in ways computation cannot replicate."
