Study finds ChatGPT mirrors human decision biases in half the tests

Celebrity Gig, April 2, 2025

Can we really trust AI to make better decisions than humans? A new study says … not always. Researchers have discovered that OpenAI’s ChatGPT, one of the most advanced and popular AI models, makes the same kinds of decision-making mistakes as humans in some situations—showing biases like overconfidence of hot-hand (gambler’s) fallacy—yet acting inhuman in others (e.g., not suffering from base-rate neglect or sunk cost fallacies).

Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains in El Salvador prison

FOX News, April 18, 2025

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen on Thursday met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who is being held in an El Salvador prison for over a month.
