The study found that mindfulness helped the nurses experience fewer negative emotions and less rumination — repetitive negative thinking.

There is indirect evidence to support this idea. For instance, individuals tend to act in a way that is consistent with or constrained by how they have imagined themselves in those situations (Johnson and Sherman, 1990), implying that some record of that simulation influences later behavior. There is typically a high correspondence of stated... See more

Not only could the same model no longer be accurate, but furthermore, this polluted content could then be used by the other LLMS for their own training. They, in turn, deposit terabytes of distorted information on the internet (This vicious cycle will eventually ruin both the internet and our ability to use chatbots effectively, I fear).
