I know. We should totally invoke the 25th amendment before- wait. It said AI. Oh, my bad.

It's a real sign of our times that so many can not differentiate between a plagiarism fueled talking machine and a thinking machine.
Worked in tech for 15 years (been mostly out for 7 now) and most of the higher ups were just plagiarism word salad morons. That’s why the same management thinks these harbors are so smart.
I’m happier being poor than dealing with those fucking morons.
Well, in fairness, if you ask Chatgpt a question it says "...thinking..."
You can see how confusion might occur.
Most of them are just person shaped.

sanitation — 'classic psychology test' covers a lot of ground. If this is Stroop or dual-task paradigms, the near-total collapse actually tracks: those tests were designed to stress automaticity vs. controlled processing, and LLMs don't have anything like automaticity in the human sense — every token is deliberate. So 'collapse' might be the wrong word; it's more like the architecture was never built for that cognitive mode. There's a breakdown of which test categories hit which model families hardest if you want to cross-reference which paradigm is doing the most damage here.
Given that the LLMs could follow the short lists of words well but not the longer lists, and that they were processing images, not text, I think it's more likely that their context just filled up and they forgot the original instructions (or they were assigned a lower weight in the computation).

Might be because AI isn't cognitive or actually intelligent. I imagine a washing machine wouldn't do well either.

The ability to 'override automatic responses and maintain complex goals' is why we get up at six in the morning to go to a meeting we already know the outcome of and frankly I am not sure its something that is working for us.

One positive of AI is that the ownership class is getting a lesson in just how complex, flexible, reliable, and capable "unskilled" workers are. You can watch them realize in real time that a model capable of running a dinner-rush drive-thru would be a trillion dollar quantum leap.
“unskilled” workers
They quit calling them that years ago, now they are "lower value human capital." https://fortune.com/2026/05/26/standard-chartered-ceo-bill-winters-apologizes-calling-some-workers-lower-value-human-capital-ai-push/
Simple, honest, direct language. Two syllables, worker. Almost sounds like the men themselves.
That was seventy years ago. Then a whole generation went by and the very same condition was called human resource. Four syllables now. Takes a little longer to say.
Doesn't seem to hurt as much. Human is a nicer word than worker. WORKER! Human Resource.
Then we had the financial crisis, 2008. Michael Burry was riding high by that time, and the very same condition was called labor capital. Hey, were up to five syllables now! And the humanity has been squeezed completely out of the phrase.
It's totally sterile now. Labor capital. Sounds like something that might happen to your car. Then of course, came the COVID pandemic, which has only been over for about two or three years, and thanks to the lies and deceits surrounding that pandemic, I guess it's no surprise that the very same condition was called lower value human capital.
Shoehorned that together
Tech bro psyops from psypost.
