Self Reflecting: Sadly Uncommon for People and AI

It's hilarious to see the parallels between people and ai. A new paper examines how ai is quite bad at determining what it's beliefs are, changing them, and then applying those beliefs, yet are people any better? While studies show that 95% of people think that they are self aware, only 10-15% actually are.

Why are we surprised that ai doesn't know what it believes and can't change it, if humans (which ai is based off of) can't do that either!

I'm very excited to see the research that shows how to convince ai, maybe we will be able to finally convince people!
