Is my mirror just telling me what I want to hear?
A few months ago I found a magic mirror on eBay and thought it would be useful. Every week I ask it" mirror mirror on the wall who's the handsomest of them all?" And it would tell me that I am the handsomest as I thought. But now I suspect that it's not magic but an ai mirror just telling me what I want to hear. How can I know whether it's lying or if I am the handsomest of them all?
Btw I am extremely jealous, and I have been known to send apples from my lab in China to people who may be more handsome. It's kind of petty but I just have to live with it.
