I’m taking a grad school course about the psychology of decision making, and the science behind how we process and use data hurts my mind and soul. At some level, we are biological logic machines. The implications of that terrify me.

Interested in reading more, can you mention the textbook(s) your course uses?

Larning about how AI (LLMs) work, what output they generate and comparing that to kids growing up, I have a similar experience.
