Psychology says people who rehearse conversations in their head before making a phone call aren't anxious for no reason - at some point in their life, saying the wrong thing had real consequences, and now they edit every sentence before it leaves their mouth like a person who learned the hard way that words can't be taken back once they land on someone who keeps score - Silicon Canals

Mental rehearsals before phone calls stem from past negative experiences and can significantly impact communication behavior.

Small frustrations often mask deeper emotional struggles and unresolved issues.

Very dangerous': a Mind mental health expert on Google's AI Overviews

Over three decades, Google designed and delivered a search engine where credible and accessible health content could rise to the top of the results. Searching online for information wasn't perfect, but it usually worked well. Users had a good chance of clicking through to a credible health website that answered their query. AI Overviews replaced that richness with a clinical-sounding summary that gives an illusion of definitiveness. It's a very seductive swap, but not a responsible one. And this often ends the information-seeking journey prematurely.
