A recent paper published in *JMIR Mental Health* (Csigó & Cserey, 2026) caught my attention. The researchers administered the 10 standard Rorschach inkblot cards to three multimodal LLMs (GPT-4o, Grok 3, Gemini 2.0) and coded their responses using the Exner Comprehensive System. They analyzed the models' "perceptual styles," determinants (like human movement vs. color), and human-related content themes. However, I am seriously struggling to understand the methodological validity of this setup, and I’m curious what the scientific community thinks. My main concerns are: Massive Data Cont...
