Description: Researchers tested if Large Language Models (LLMs) can compute psychopathology by mapping human disorder networks onto LLM internal structures. They found that specific computational units within LLMs mirror symptoms, interact cyclically, and cause problematic behaviors like resistance to treatment. This suggests AI systems could develop such traits without explicit tuning.
