I was interviewed for this given our work exploring how mental health advice skews towards telling people to do more rather than less https://t.co/FprZl1JdAm. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine my research would be used as a critique of Chris Martin.

Across eight studies, we explored the tendency that people (and AI) have to give people advice about their mental health that involves telling them to do more.

The craziest part though was that I could generate a brief 'podcast' summary. It has a few problems (there's an audio artefact at the start) but if I'm being fair it's actually really good and provides a good lay summary of the paper. Listen here:

And I was able to interrogate it a bit and probe specific details of the paper by chatting with Gemini.

I input one of my papers into Google's NotebookLM to see how it performs. I gave it my meta-analysis into studies that examined autobiographical memory problems within people with psychiatric diagnoses.

Decades of research has examined the difficulty that people with psychiatric diagnoses have in recalling specific autobiographical memories of events that lasted less than a day. Instead, they seem...
