AI is already capable of superhuman persuasion In this randomized, controlled, pre-registered study GPT-4 is better able to change people’s minds during a debate than other humans, when it is given access to personal information about the person it is debating.

Our new paper suggests that #GPT is a cheap, easy & effective tool for text analysis. We find that GPT (3.5 & 4) is able to detect psychological constructs (eg emotions) WAY better than dictionary methods across 12 languages! See paper for details: psyarxiv.com/sekf5/
NEW in PNAS from PRL👉 @d_e_holliday, Shanto Iyengar, @ylelkes, and @seanjwestwood: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… We find that Americans of both parties overwhelmingly support democratic norms and reject political violence, despite antidemocratic behavior from political elites. 🧵1/7
Been off Twitter since mid-December cause I had to factory reset my phone and didn't log in again, and... I'm not quite sure I missed much of anything without being on it 🙃
This is perhaps the DUMBEST interaction I've had with an LLM yet.
OMG, the AI Winter Break Hypothesis may actually be true? There was some idle speculation that GPT-4 might perform worse in December because it "learned" to do less work over the holidays. Here is a statistically significant test showing that this may be true. LLMs are weird.🎅

🚨New Preprint: "Generative language models exhibit social identity biases" Did you know LLMs mirror human-like biases, showing human-levels of ingroup solidarity & outgroup hostility? A thread: 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2310.15819 1/7
Why does out-group animosity go viral, even though most people say they don't want it to go viral? @g_heltzel finds that extreme partisans (who engage more with politicians online) prefer tweets that express out-group animosity, but moderates don't: open.library.ubc.ca/soa/cIRcle/col…

Just reminded of this amazing example, from Reddit's brief in Gonzalez, of an actual must-carry claim filed under the Texas law that is now going to the Supreme Court. Imagine this times a hundred thousand.
Giving users the ability to provide context when reporting abuse is a key element of supporting targets of online hate. Glad to see @Roblox adding this important feature to their platform.
@alexleavitt stresses the importance of focusing on usability and not necessarily friction when improving reporting mechanisms. Your users must be able to use your reporting flows easily!
This was a great discussion about how users experience reporting abuse online! Especially appreciate the point that there are steps platforms could implement for users to also build empowering communities in this process.

@InbalGoldberger @alexleavitt shares the teaching materials that introduce students to feature design and red teaming!
Now out in Perspectives on @PsychScience People engage with divisive and negative content online. But, does this mean that people *like* divisive content? No! We find that people across the political spectrum do not want divisive content to spread. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/17…
Incredibly cursed research methodology just dropped.
Incredibly cursed research methodology just dropped.
Simulated GPT-3.5 “people” replicate 38% of psych studies, but fail when they insist there is one “correct” answer Also: “our sample of self-reported GPT liberals were still closer to the human conservative sample than it was to the human liberal sample.” arxiv.org/pdf/2302.07267…
New piece alert—after years of thinking about the Meta Oversight Board, I come to the conclusion that we need to be careful what we wish for. "More legitimate" content moderation sounds good, but what does it get us really? Forthcoming @HarvardJOLT papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

🚨LLMs outdebate humans when given access to opponents' personal Information!🚨 In a pre-reg study (N=820), participants who debated ChatGPT had 81.7% (p<0.01) higher odds of agreeing with their opponents after the debate (compared to a human baseline) 📜arxiv.org/abs/2403.14380

How should we measure opinion in rapidly changing information environments? In a working paper, I develop an approach - the crowdsourced adaptive survey (CSAS) - that unites LLMs and adaptive algorithms to create surveys that evolve with user input. 🔗: dropbox.com/scl/fi/34yw3p0…
