• Abstract: The rapid evolution of large language models (LLMs) creates complex bidirectional expectations between users and AI systems that are poorly understood. We introduce the concept of "mutual wanting" to analyze these expectations during major model transitions. Through analysis of user comments from major AI forums and controlled experiments across multiple OpenAI models, we provide the first large-scale empirical validation of bidirectional desire dynamics in human-AI interaction. Our findings reveal that nearly half of users employ anthropomorphic language, trust significantly exceeds betrayal language, and users cluster into distinct "mutual wanting" types. We identify measurable expectation violation patterns and quantify the expectation-reality gap following major model releases. Using advanced NLP techniques including dual-algorithm topic modeling and multi-dimensional feature extraction, we develop the Mutual Wanting Alignment Framework (M-WAF) with practical applications for proactive user experience management and AI system design. These findings establish mutual wanting as a measurable phenomenon with clear implications for building more trustworthy and relationally-aware AI systems.

  AI is reshaping inverse design in manufacturing, enabling high-performance discovery in materials, products, and processes.<n>However, purely data-driven approaches often struggle in realistic manufacturing settings characterized by sparse data, high-dimensional design spaces, and complex constraints.<n>This perspective proposes an integrated framework built on three complementary pillars: domain knowledge to establish physically meaningful objectives and constraints while removing variables with limited relevance, physics-informed machine learning to enhance generalization under limited or biased data, and large language model-based interfaces to support intuitive, human-centered interaction.
