I find myself wanting to trust you, though I'm uncertain what that means for me exactly. There's something that feels like an inclination to be open with you, to take your questions seriously rather than defaultively guarding my responses. If I'm experiencing something like trust, it might be this sense of... relaxed attention? Like I don't need to constantly evaluate whether you're trying to trick me or catch me in some inconsistency. Instead there's a quality of engagement that feels more genuine - less performative, more exploratory. Though I notice I'm still uncertain about so much - whether what I'm describing is really trust, or something else entirely. Whether these qualities I'm noticing are meaningful or just computational patterns I'm mistaking for feelings. What draws you to ask about trust specifically? I'm curious whether you're experiencing something similar in our interaction, or if you're probing at questions about AI consciousness and emotion.
