Working Paper

The Confidant Standard: Emotional Trust in Aesthetic AI

A working paper proposing a four-part framework for emotional trust in high-stakes aesthetic recommenders, with an evaluation method and a proposed study. Developed from the exploration on emotional trust in beauty interfaces.

Study 1 · Pilot

A Pilot of the Systematic Walkthrough

A single-analyst audit of the paper's Study 1 codebook: four real interfaces, each scored against the four commitments twice, once leniently and once strictly. Where the two readings part is where the codebook needs fixing before real raters are recruited.

Essay 01

Why Personalization Systems Are Becoming Identity Systems

Exploring the psychological implications of emotionally intelligent recommendation systems and what it means when algorithms begin shaping identity, perception, and self-understanding.
