Is there also a carrot to go with that stick? Is there an incentive to review for them? If not, why agree to review and take the chance the circumstances will prevent getting it in on time?

Why on earth are the civil servants inside these offices complying with the directives given to them by Musk and his entourage without requiring the presentation of suitable credentials?

Thanks Steve! Always hated how textbook intros to the the history of cog psych (and psych in general) is just a stream of (older) white men. It’s rather embarrassing how many contributions from elsewhere in the world (other than Europe and North America) are just left out of the story.

I’ve been trying to explain these problems to folks for years! Such a great and clear presentation of the problems with collinearity “solutions”. Back to longer and more variable jitter between sequential design events if you want to decompose! Thanks Russ, Jeanette, and all!

Great question. We’re following up by testing how detection might change with development. We do have some verbal processing measures that we can use a covariates of interest. We’re also trying our hand at a novel intervention to improve detection accuracy, though I’m skeptical it will work.

I'd love to know what the evidence is. I've seen no decline, beyond what I can attribute to some pandemic fatigue, over 20 years of college teaching. Students are just as insightful, willing to engage, and have the zeal. It's a "the kids these days" bias. Please convince me otherwise.

I've been a professor for almost 20 years, and the same concerns about shrinking attention spans were around back then too. There's simply no compelling evidence that this is actually happening, and no valid way to test the claim (I study the topic). It's a "the kids these days" phenomenon.

The study is fun, but silly. Basing the calculations on reaction times to program a motor action, mental representation, or internal decision treats the brain like a serial processor, and ignores the billions of parallel computations devoted to monitoring the environment, conflict monitoring, etc.

E7. "Changes to the tax code are on the horizon as lawmakers propose reforms to streamline the system. The revisions aim to simplify tax filing, reduce loopholes, and create a fairer tax structure. These changes could have far-reaching impacts on individuals, businesses, and the overall economy."

E6. "Enamel is tough enough to resist dents, yet elastic enough not to crack during decades of jaw smashing.
It’s so incredible that scientists haven’t created a substitute that can match it—until last year."

E4. "The Human Rights Campaign declared a state of emergency for LGBTQ+ people in the U.S.
Sounding the alarm about the current political environment, the organization released a guidebook summarizing laws it deems discriminatory in each state."

Here are some examples to try (reply if you think its "human" or "AI", answers at bottom of thread):

Finding 4: People who can't discern human from AI-generated materials are, unfortunately, also more likely to spread information online by sharing, which means that the people who just can't tell the difference are also the one's most likely to be propagating online information. Damn!

Finding 3: More time on social media and using smartphones increases exposure to AI, which makes us more likely to misattribute human origin to AI material. So, people who use digital media more excessively also have a harder time telling the difference between what's human and what's AI.

Finding 2: What makes the especially good human "detectors" so good, in a nutshell, is their high fluid intelligence. Greater tendency to empathize, on the other hand, doesn't matter. Human intelligence is, at least currently, a defense against being fooled by artificial intelligence.

Finding 1: Human discernment of text-based generative AI (is it human or AI?) is just slightly above chance guessing, but some people are strikingly good at making the determination (> 80%).

Very cool Jamie - Want to see how it does detecting "gaslighting" in some generative AI materials we've used in the lab for testing human-AI discernment?
