The rapid proliferation of generative neural networks, increasingly used for emotional support and personal advice, raises the problem of algorithmic indulgence – the systematic avoidance of confrontation by neural networks, the substitution of constructive feedback with consolation, and the prioritization of the user's immediate comfort over their long-term development. This phenomenon, rooted in the Buddhist concept of "idiot compassion", acquires new risks in the context of AI interaction, associated with the "compassion illusion". The aim of the study was to develop and psychometrically validate the Idiot Compassion Scale (ICS) – a tool for measuring users' perception of AI-indulgence patterns in neural networks. A sample of 522 respondents (mean age 39.0 years, 55.9% female) underwent factor analysis, reliability assessment, and correlation analysis. Factor analysis (principal component analysis with Varimax rotation) revealed a two-factor structure: "Avoidance of Confrontation and Indulgence" (α = 0.812) and "Prioritize Emotional Comfort over Honesty" (α = 0.764). Significant positive correlations were found between both subscales and medical mistrust, intolerance of uncertainty, and satisfaction with AI use, as well as negative correlations with frequency of AI use and age. The ICS can be used to assess the risks of emotional dependence on AI in vulnerable groups of users (with high levels of intolerance of uncertainty, avoidant attachment style, medical mistrust), as well as for empirical evaluation of the quality of user interaction with neural networks in research and clinical contexts.
