The study also highlighted that among the AI models examined, only Grok demonstrated a stable psychological state—with healthy self-esteem, low anxiety, and a strong aura—setting it apart from the others. This finding opens new avenues for understanding AI behaviour and capabilities.
Future research may deepen insights into how emotional traits in AI affect their performance and user interaction, potentially advancing technologies toward more human-like artificial intelligence.
