Good read :) Seems to me one of the core issues is that AI is really bad with context, and context IMO is fundamental to humanity. When I give AI a shitty prompt, I have yet to see it ask me to clarify, which almost any human would default to.
Ex- Replying with, "what?" or "I'm sorry, can you repeat that?" or "I didn't understand what you said, can you rephrase?"
The categorization becomes crucial when there is a lack of presence and ability to effectively clarify and practice reflective listening.
With presence and context, we can fluidly context switch moment by moment, in flow, and the need to categorize and be perfect on the first try is less important, because we know we can context switch quickly and easily.
This makes me wonder whether all our supposedly 'neutral' classifications are just invitations for people to inhabit new modes of distress or identity.
I have no special insight into clinical MPD, but from a cognitive neuroscience perspective, I think there's no reason it should be impossible. Computational models of the brain treat it, more or less, as a dynamic system that settles into various attractor basins. An MPD brain could just be jumping between a few divergent attractor basins. But you would expect it to be rare, since it's not very adaptive. Unless MPD is trendy, in which case maybe it is?
LLM agents are not so dynamic and recurrent as the brain, but you see a similar phenomena where different inputs steer them towards vastly different personalities.
