https://www.science.org/content/article/unethical-ai-research-reddit-under-fire A study that used artificial intelligence–generated content to “participate” in online discussions and test whether AI was more successful at changing people’s minds than human-generated content has caused an uproar because of ethical concerns about the work. In a brief summary of the research posted online—but subsequently removed—the researchers report that the AI content was significantly more persuasive than human-generated content, receiving more “deltas”—awarded for a strong argument that resulted in changed beliefs—per comment than other accounts. The comments personalized with inferred user information performed best, in the 99th percentile of all commenters within the subreddit.
