Very pleased to have been on the leadership team for this paper! LLMs are already being used all over behavioural science. But it is often pretty hard to work out exactly what has been done, and therefore how much confidence to place in the results. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

ArXiV has a new LLM policy (Screenshots with alt text so you don’t have to click through to the other place and see all the stupid responses)

Attention @arxiv authors: Our Code of Conduct states that by signing your name as an author of a paper, each author takes full responsibility for all its contents, irrespective of how the contents were generated. 1/

If generative AI tools generate inappropriate language, plagiarized content, biased content, errors, mistakes, incorrect references, or misleading content, and that output is included in scientific works, it is the responsibility of the author(s). 2/

We have recently clarified our penalties for this. If a submission contains incontrovertible evidence that the authors did not check the results of LLM generation, this means we can't trust anything in the paper. 3/

The penalty is a 1-year ban from arXiv followed by the requirement that subsequent arXiv submissions must first be accepted at a reputable peer-reviewed venue. 4/

Examples of incontrovertible evidence: hallucinated references, meta-comments from the LLM ("here is a 200 word summary; would you like me to make any changes?"; "the data in this table is illustrative, fill it in with the real numbers from your experiments") end/

LLMs are reshaping how we process information, now even processing videos for us. In a study with 900+ participants, we found AI boosts efficiency and accuracy, but also drives overreliance. So the real question: how much of our access to information are we willing to outsource to LLMs?

AI can now answer questions about video content, transforming how people consume information on the Web. An experiment with 900+ participants found that AI improves speed and accuracy of retrieval BUT, users become overreliant on AI answers, accepting wrong answers without any loss of confidence.

A two barplots side by side.The left plot shows accuracy of information retrieval (y-axis, ranging from 0 to 100%) across three conditions (No AI, AI, and AI providing wrong answers). The right plot shows self-reported confidence in the answer correctness (y-axis, ranging from 0 to 5) across the same three conditions. Across the two plots, each condition contains two bars: one for users who watched the relevant segment of the video containing the answer to a question, and one for users who did NOT watch the segment. The plot conveys the following messages. 1) In the "No AI" condition, people who did not watch the video provide far less accurate responses. 2) In the "AI" condition, accuracy is high regardless of whether people watched the video or not. 3) in the "AI providing wrong answer" condition, accuracy drops to the minimum values for people who did not check the video. 4) Self-reported confidence in the answers is always high across all conditions, with just a tiny difference between the watched vs. non-watched scenarios
