LLMs are good at predicting—does that scale to decision making? No, argue Sako & Felin, they cannot envision possibilities beyond existing data, generate new hypotheses or run experiments to get new data—essential for general real-world decisions: buff.ly/dTxZw3Q

Super important paper on the limits of AI in decision-making, especially as the "AI first" trend escalates and we try to understand cases where AI should NOT be used. Key takeaways from the paper:

11 years later, I still think the frame problem is a knock down argument against AI (when it comes to novelty) See this 2014 piece with Stuart Kauffman et al: drive.google.com/file/d/1yrID...

Tens of thousands of psychological measures have been created, but 79% are not reused more than twice. In a new article in NHB lead by @faridanvari.bsky.social and @ruben.the100.ci we quantify this fragmentation in psychology's measures and propose solutions. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
