This thread has brought me some sense of relief for the same thought I had recurring for the past 10(!) years

"Analysis of 41 million papers finds that although AI expands individual impact, it narrows collective scientific exploration". This is the science-equivalent to "Generative AI enhances individual creativity but reduces the collective diversity of novel content" www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Generative AI enhances individual creativity but reduces the collective diversity of novel content
Generative AI can enhance the creativity of short stories but may limit the variation in diverse outputs.

My co-author, Oliver, and I had a similar thought. It is validating to see our result appear in different contexts with different groups. Thanks for pointing this out to the Bsky community!

Hard to know. It sometimes boosts outputs from non-experts and sometimes fails to boost output from experts. I think use case is going to matter a lot here.

In the paper we investigate why researchers with different levels of experience had such different reactions to AI assistance with their proposals.

Anil Doshi @anilrdoshi.com · 08/01/2025
When they received generative AI ideas, less experienced researchers view their work as more novel and more impactful (than less experienced researchers who did not get AI ideas) and they viewed their overall research agenda more positively. More experienced researchers felt the exact opposite.

Anil Doshi @anilrdoshi.com · 08/01/2025
What we find: Researchers with different levels of experience react very differently to generative AI.

Anil Doshi @anilrdoshi.com · 08/01/2025
The experiment: We randomly assigned wither researchers received generative AI ideas based on their prior work. Outcomes: We ask the researchers to assess the prospective novelty and impact of their research and assess the prospects of their overall research agenda.

Anil Doshi @anilrdoshi.com · 08/01/2025
The design: We asked 310 researchers (from a wide variety of academic fields) to provide the title and abstract from a recently published article. And then we asked them to provide a new research proposal based on their own work.

The results show the potential for generative AI to be used as a source of feedback and insight into decisions that are fraught with uncertainty (as is often the case with strategic decisions!).
100
Anil Doshi @anilrdoshi.com · 18/11/2024
The two studies's results are consistent. (1) individual AI evaluations tend to be inconsistent (when you ask it to pick A vs B, and then B vs A, LLMs often do not pick the same model). (2) aggregations of AI evaluations start to resemble the evaluations made by the human experts.

Thanks Joshua. Let me know if you have any feedback!

Anil Doshi @anilrdoshi.com · 09/02/2024
I suppose another way to answer is that the words, clauses, etc are fitted on past data but how they are then outputted in response to novel inputs (prompts) is not necessarily limited to past data.
000
Anil Doshi @anilrdoshi.com · 09/02/2024
If I understand, the answer is I am not sure. I suspect that either it does or it could be instructed to consider future uncertainty in its response. That may increase variance in responses but whether the variance arises from extrapolating beyond the past… I’m not sure.

Anil Doshi @anilrdoshi.com · 08/02/2024
So what are the takeaways? The perspective of generative AI can be useful when you average out the weirdness of any one LLM response. It is useful to treat generative AI, not just as one soundboard or assistant, but a crowd of opinion givers.
