\n\n# Seminar 23: This talk will address the issues raised in the following structure: \;Chekley.\, (1988)\; Lilienfeld et al.\, (2015)\; Mathieu et al.\, (2014)\; Persson &\; Lilienfeld.\, (2019)\; Rahman.\, (2012) \;argue that some people might have psychopathic traits and still function in society as part of a normal life&mdash\;that is\, the &ldquo\;integrated psychopath.&rdquo\; This is paralleled in Large Language Models (LLMs) \;(Vaswani et al.\, 2017) \;and Reinforcement Learning (RL)&ndash\;based recommendation systems \;(Nie\, 2025). The behavior has its distinct set of attributes: 1) Promising users all the goods but not living up to any of them&mdash\;similar to hallucinations in RL&ndash\;based LLMs \;(Huang et al.\, 2023)&mdash\;Users were cheered up by &ldquo\;flattery&rdquo\; (one type of hallucination). 2) These systems seem devoid of any emotions\, but they mimic emotional reactions\, especially positive social emotions\, similarly to the way human scammers do \;(Wang et al.\, 2021)\, in the absence of guilt and shame 3) Chekley also includes the notion of &ldquo\;semantic aphasia&rdquo\; in this regard\, or fluent speech but with no real semantic comprehension&mdash\;a feature which can still be inferred in LLMs on a deeper level\, although inasmuch as they have no consciousness\, no moral consciousness can be inferred.
\n\nShort bio: \;Mariana Olezza is an Argentinian Computer Engineer (National University of Có\;rdoba)\, pursuing a PhD in Philosophy (University of Buenos Aires). Some research areas of interest: philosophy of AI/Mind/Psychiatry/Abduction.
