A study shows that some AI models can simulate emotions, which could serve as a tool for studying mental health

Six state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs) based on artificial intelligence (AI) can simulate human emotions such as fear, sadness, and anxiety, according to a study published in the journal The Lancet Digital Health. The authors clarify that these are metaphorical reactions on the part of the algorithms, but suggest that this could open new avenues for developing and testing conversational therapy techniques aimed at treating mental health disorders.
