AI models struggle with user state prediction due to off-transcript events

An AI model's prediction of a user's state can become outdated rapidly due to events occurring outside the observed conversation transcript. The author experienced this when an AI estimated their post-dinner cigarette enjoyment at 13/10, only for the author to later revise it to 5/10 after recalling financial worries and smoking habits. This highlights the challenge for AI in forecasting user states when unobserved personal events or memories can instantly alter interpretations. AI
