SummaryPaper introduces Safety Nudges, a browser tool that flags concerning chatbot behavior (hallucination, sycophancy, overconfidence, anthropomorphism) in real time. A two-week field study with 45 frequent chatbot users found the tool useful, clear, and minimally disruptive, and increased risk awareness, but awareness did not translate into measurable behavioral change.
Why it mattersField-tested design with a counter-intuitive finding: surfacing AI risks to users raises awareness without changing behavior, so calibration and user control matter more than alert volume.
