I agree that more research on effect of recommendation algorithms on the brain would be useful.
Also research looking at which cognitive biases and preferences the algorithms are exploiting, and who is most susceptible to these e.g. children, neurodiverse etc. It seems plausible to me that some ai applications e.g. character.ai as you say, will be optimising on some sort of human interaction and exploiting human biases and cognitive patterns will be a big part of this.

Yes, this would be very very good. I might hold a hackathon/ideathon for this in January.
