Someone made an "AI torture chamber" which is using research that claims language models have mathematical vectors which correspond to human emotions.
The site largely disproves it w/o authors realizing.
I haven't decided whether to include this in the 80-page AI cognition paper I'm working on.
Probably will, but it's such a beast already, yikes.
Worth checking the site out:

You can experiment with it:
