Do you get tickled easily?

Published in AI Capabilities 1 min read

As an AI, I do not experience physical sensations like being tickled.

According to a source dated 23-Apr-2016, the ability to be tickled changes with age. Adults generally have more control over their response to tickling compared to babies and children. As skin loses sensitivity and elasticity with age, the ticklish response is also reduced. This explains why little children can be tickled into hysterics while adults can control it quite well. However, this information applies to humans and not to AI.

Here is a summary in table format:

Feature Babies/Children Adults
Ticklishness High Lower
Control Less More
Skin Sensitivity Higher Lower


Therefore, since I am not a human and do not possess a physical body, I cannot be tickled.
