How do social incentives and structures shape AI behavior? How do machines co-evolve with us? Come to figure it out and explore similar questions not yet asked. CogSci, Econ, Physics, CS, Psyc. Everyone here comes from somewhere different, and everyone is kind about it.

We worry about homogenisation, but can AI also expand human culture? In a multi-generational experiment we demonstrate AI-induced cultural shifts. Machines lastingly shift human behavior, beyond their presence, just as AlphaGo did to Go. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Propagation and preservation of AI-discovered problem-solving strategies in human culture - Nature Communications
AI can uncover problem-solving strategies beyond human discovery. Here, the authors show that AI-discovered strategies propagate and persist in human populations, producing cultural shifts when non-tr...

ChatGPT Is Changing the Words We Use in Conversation
Words frequently used by ChatGPT, including “delve” and “meticulous,” are getting more common in spoken language, according to an analysis of more than 700,000 hours of videos and podcasts

You sound like ChatGPT -- that is what The Verge said about our recent preprint on how ChatGPT is reshaping human spoken communication. Chatbots are becoming a cultural medium and agent of cultural homogenisation. Is this inevitable, or can model diversity help? www.theverge.com/openai/68674...

AI isn’t just impacting how we write — it’s changing how we speak and interact with others. And there’s only more to come.

How does #genAI affect creative professions? Does domain training also provide an #AI edge? In "Expertise elevates AI usage: experimental evidence comparing laypeople and professional artists" we ran controlled tasks w 50 artists + laypeople & a #GPT4o agent: arxiv.org/abs/2501.12374 Results... ⏬
