What does it matter? We’d ignore whatever AI says just like anosognosics ignore “your arm is paralyzed”.
Then I wonder how anosognosics perceive the offending assertions? They deny them, but can they repeat them back? Write them down? Can they pretend their arm is paralyzed? Can they correctly identify paralysis in other people?
We should find a way to induce anosognosia temporarily.
Just squirt ice cold water in your left ear first. Mind you, as soon as it wears off you’ll forget it again. Also you will deny you ever denied it when you squirt your ear again.
They come up with excuses, increasingly lame excuses, for why that isn’t their arm or they’re just too tired to move it just now. They are usually unaware of other’s paralysis as well.
You want all these answers, get thee to an old folk’s home for an interview. Stroke victims are the most common ones.
Anosognosia is caused by a blind spot in the left side of the brain, which cannot be corrected by the damaged right side of the brain. Hence the importance of the AI having 3 brain archetextures to correct blind spots.
Presumably to make this work, the AI would have to alter your mind to disable the denial macro so that it could tell you what it thought the problem was.

This is a little tricky, I’ll admit, but if we could just ignore whatever the AI says—which is something in a different modality from whatever it is we’re ignoring—then doesn’t that defeat the whole thought-experiment? Because you could just ignore the anognosic module you, in a fit of absence of mind, wrote into your AI and subsequently ignored on all your reviews.
(Yes, a module full of code like that would look absolutely nothing like what was being censored, but it’s not like the statement ’90% of SIDs are actually irritated mothers murdering their kids’ looks anything like an irritated mother murdering her child either.)
