Workers lie less about AI skills, but there's a new risk lurking

SAPO Notícias3 September 2026 at 10:10

Professionals are being more transparent about their Artificial Intelligence knowledge, admitting with greater honesty their actual skills in this area. This change represents a positive evolution in terms of sincerity in the workplace.

However, this trend may be giving way to a new problem. The greater openness about AI knowledge is associated with an increase in overconfidence in the use of these tools.

Workers are trusting more in the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence, which may represent a risk in the professional context. This exaggerated confidence can lead to errors or to inappropriate use of AI tools.

GTA 6 will not always allow freely switching between Jason and Lucia during missions

Rockstar Games revealed that in Grand Theft Auto VI players will not be able to freely switch between protagonists Jason and Lucia during all missions, as the game's narrative will require certain missions to be played with only one character at a time. This decision is part of a more story-focused approach, approaching the narrative style seen in Red Dead Redemption 2, where the mission structure was more linear in relation to the characters. The game is scheduled for release in 2025 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Brazilian influencer Suellen Carey tested the so-called "dopamine menu" for seven days, a method that consists of creating a personal menu of pleasurable activities to replace the automatic use of cell phones and social media. She decided to try the strategy after realizing she was connected to electronic devices between 12 and 13 hours a day. The proposal is not to eliminate technology from the routine, but rather to turn to other activities that also provide pleasure and stimulation in moments when the urge arises to check notifications or continue scrolling through screens without a defined purpose.
