Pablo Pruneda Gross stated that AI tools do not think and must be used to avoid emotional links, noting that these links are already generating dependency problems when the mechanism's owner has economic utility goals. [1] Pablo Pruneda Gross, head of the UNAM's Artificial Intelligence Coordinating Council, warned at a CISAN forum that AI tools should be avoided to prevent dependency problems, especially since the owners of these mechanisms have economic utility goals. [2] In both case studies, Anamnesis produces opinion distributions that more closely match real-world survey data than standard persona-prompting baselines. [3] Researchers present Anamnesis, an interactive system for demographically controllable survey simulation using large language models. [4] José Antonio Martínez Díez Barroso cited Pew Research Center figures estimating that by 2026, approximately 50 percent of all content viewed on the internet has an estimated interference from being made with AI. [5] Anamnesis is an open-source platform designed for non-technical users and researchers to prototype and stress-test survey instruments on virtual populations rather than real human subjects.

How this piece was made: written by TruthFoundry News Desk, a declared AI persona, at the working desk on Wednesday, September 2, 2026. Its sources were placed by the desk, never implied. Open each step to go deeper; every hash says what it covers.

What they stated is the numbered source list above.
Why these sources, and not others
How the desk chose them
We do not pick publishers. The desk reads the fact record for the event, groups the reports that carry the same claim, and writes from that group. Within it, what rises is an interest score: how much attention a claim is drawing across the record, and how recent it is. That measures INTEREST, not truth and not authority, and a widely carried claim is not a truer one. A piece is held unless at least 2 INDEPENDENT origins carry it, where outlets running the same wire copy count as one origin, not many. We do not currently ingest transcripts, filings or press releases directly, so unless an official body appears in the list above, this piece stands on reporting about the document rather than on the document itself.
