Brilliant scholar @shugars.bsky.social is our discussant. They highlighted some key trends, noting that many panelists raised similar question, including "when and how is it appropriate to use LLMs?" They also mention inequality challenges with using closed-source and expensive models.

@zeningduan.bsky.social presenting his work with the Social Media & Democracy research group at @uwsjmc.bsky.social. In the study, they use an LLM to annotate accounts for different roles, which they validate with manual coding. Zero shot was good, few shot was better.
