When I read about dialogues with AI, where people try to get life advice, support, and therapy from the algorithm, I'm reminded of this photograph.

    Does anyone know the name of this monkey or experiment? It’s kind of harrowing seeing the expression on its face. It looks desperate for affection to the point of dissociation.

        The context makes it even more heartbreaking.

      The experiment was done by harry harlow, but I don’t think the name of the monkey was given, could have just been a number :(

        Thank you so much. I’ve found a Wikipedia page on him and his research so I’ll give it a read. The poor money. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Harlow
