Dissonance Induced Cognitive Distortion
Dissonance Induced Cognitive Distortion
Interflex Predictive Simuglutide 1.7mg
With Interflex, you no longer have to hide your feelings of epistemic divergence, or pretend you know what others are discussing.

When used as prescribed Interflex can manage the symptoms of cognitive distortion, divergence, memory loss — whether real or felt.

When used in conjunction with routine daily epistemic sync practices, symptoms of cognitive dissonance can be expected to diminish within weeks.

Consult your medical agentic or your physician for details and to determine if Interflex is right for you.

If you find yourself suffering from a sense of cognitive dissonance from heavy agentic intelligence use, talk to health and wellness agentic about your options. Interflex Predictive Simuglutide 1.7mg is a prescription medication that can help you manage your cognitive dissonance and improve your overall mental clarity.

Symptoms of Dissonance Induced CD may include a feeling of distraction, difficulty focusing, a persistent sense of unease, general confusion, a sense of being overwhelmed and distanced from reality, and a sense of being unable to make decisions without the assistance of an agentic intelligence.

With Interflex Predictive, most patients experience a significant reduction in the symptoms of cognitive dissonance within just a few cycles.
While using Interflex you should curtail your use of companion intelligences significantly to reduce the chances of reflex altercognitive disorder and related symptoms. Interflex may not be for you if you teach, mentor, or supervise young children, or if you have a history of role playing-based entertainments or games, or deep immersive therapeutic hygiene. Interflex is safe for systemic supervised use. Initial use should only be conducted supervised and not in contexts where you may be asked to manipulate, operate, or otherwise handle heavy machine models. Consult your medical agentic if your symptoms persist or worsen.

What the heck's going on here? (Explainer)
The Design Fiction artifact explores the implications of AI on mental health and the potential need for interventions in an increasingly AI-driven world. Dissonance Induced Cognitive Distortion is a design fiction artifact I put in the “Applied Intelligence” newspaper from an AI Future.

I've been wondering about how my use of AI could result in a sense of dissonance as regards the usual assortment of topics and issues that has people mostly wondering, sometimes studying the phenomenon of a sense of disconnection from reality, whatever that is (or was.)

The artifact itself is itself something that has come back from some possible/probable future where people experience cognitive dissonance from heavy use of agentic intelligences. What sorts of treatments might obtain from what sorts of treatment facilities, companies, charismatics ('take a apple vinegar tonic', 'come to our fancy retreat near Big Sur'). What will Big Pharma offer in terms of medications to (allegedly/hopefully) help manage these symptoms?

The feeling of dissonance may be this sense that the world is not as it seems in some way instigated or certainly not helped by generative AI, particularly in the visual realm with image and video generation, but also certainly with the dialoging character of things like ChatGPT and the like. This makes it such that things we see and hear are not quite right, or that our own thoughts and feelings are somehow out of sync with reality.
To be clear, I'm not suggesting that I'm anti-AI or something, although there are plenty of reasons to be concerned about and open conversations about the implications of AI in our lives. What I do with these artifacts is to create a little McGuffin that can be used to explore the implications of AI in our lives, and how it might affect our mental health and well-being. The artifact is a way to start a conversation about the potential risks and benefits of AI, and how we can navigate this new landscape in a way that is healthy and sustainable.
