GPT-4と、人間の説得力を競った実験。被験者の属性を利用しない状態では同等だったが、属性に合わせたパーソナリゼーションを使った説得ではGPT-4が明確に人間を凌駕した。 広告や検索で使ったらとんでもないことになりそう。 On the conversational persuasiveness of GPT-4 https://t.co/3tj11hHrto

i think the most interesting finding comes from their Fig 5, but it isn't 5b, it's 5a. why are people misreading a human debate opponent as an AI twice as often as they're misreading an AI debate opponent as a human? sadly, the authors don't discuss the implications of this findings at all
