Graph of decision quality among professional Go players. A sudden increase after AlphaGo. It is not only because they are learning from the AI. Players are suddenly inventing new moves at a faster rate too!

About this "Machine Culture" paper, although (I guess!) not written by core CS people, it is nicely nuanced and it avoids commonplace simplified stances. Here is one paragraph, as a taste of the overall style:

Excited about our #EADMSummerSchool24 on Large Language Models (LLMs) in Behavioural Science! ⏰ Application deadline is less than a month away (March 17th) Besides the magic of Berlin in late summer, you’d get:

🚨 Paper Alert 🚨 AI learns everything from us human culture. But do we also learn from AI? Our paper *delves* into the question of whether humans have now started to speak like ChatGPT (not just write like it). Check out the video and thread below.

LLMs both enhance and represent forms of collective intelligence. Could insights from human collective intelligence help us curate training data more effectively while balancing novelty and accuracy?

New project from colleagues at Center for Humans & Machines arrives just in time for spooky season 👻🎃 Spook the machine with your GenAI image creations! I got 71 points for spooking a machine! Can you beat me? #SpookTheMachine Spook the Machine spookthemachine.com/share?i=G146LE…

👻 Spook the Machine 🤖 AI scare you, but can you scare it? Check out our new Halloween AI project. Each AI has a different phobia. You can try to spook the machine by crafting a prompt to generate an image. We are giving away $ prizes for the best images.

👻 Halloween is here at Center for Humans & Machines, and I'm thrilled to have collaborated on this spooky project! 🎃✨ I scored 76+15 spooking the machine with GenAI—Can you beat that? 🧛‍♂️💀 #SpookTheMachine Spook the Machine - spookthemachine.com/share?i=Hgb9Vg…

LLM interpretability is so hard. If there only was a way to force them to reason in a latent space in which world knowledge and motivations were interpetable to us. On another note, what's language for?

How does #genAI affect creative professions? Does domain training also provide an #AI edge? Preprint: "Expertise elevates AI usage: experimental evidence comparing laypeople and professional artists" Controlled tasks w 50 artists, a laypeople group & a #GPT4o agent Results... ⏬

🚨 New pre-print 🚨 Will AI-generated art kill the art profession? There's much speculation about this. But not much experimental evidence. So we designed an expertiment to compare the use of generative AI (text-to-image models) by 50 artists vs laypeople. We had two tasks: 1.

Yes, for example, we observed a marked increase in the use of words like 'delve' in free conversations on YouTube. arxiv.org/abs/2409.01754 Cultural traits are circulating between humans and machines, dissolving boundaries. I call it the 'cultural sigularity'.

Do LLMs think? Excited to share our updated preprint critically discussing two "Justaic" stances claiming that LLMs lack cognition because they are "just" next-token predictors or "just" machines. Led by Zak Hussain and with Rui Mata. osf.io/preprints/osf/…

Hi Prolific, your platform is great (I am one of your first users, and very pleased) but recently there is a huge uptick in AI use in tasks that require open text. We explicitly tell participants not to use GPT et al., disallow copy+paste, but it is still quite clear that in
