People sometimes over-rely on LLMs because they’re good at stuff, but then start under-relying in response. Do any LLM interventions get to the sweet spot of “appropriate reliance”, relying when you should and not when you shouldn’t? See our #CHI2025 paper to find out!

LLM benchmarks measure raw AI capabilities, but what happens when LLMs are actually used by people is different. Our new work introduces ChatBench, a benchmark for human-LLM interaction, and analyzes these interactions in a large randomized experiment.
