PSA:

Don't post a message saying this:

"This is worth your time: [URL]"

There's a 99.9999% chance that I'm going to ignore your message.

First of all, I may not know you. Do you have the habit of linking to crap? I don't know. I'm not going to waste my time to discover that.

Second, you're not alone pulling this stunt. There aren't enough hours in the day to check everybody's pet passion.

If you want me to click on the link, *make a case for it.* Why is it worth my time? Otherwise, I'm not going to touch it. If you cannot be bothered to explain, I cannot be bothered to click.

"Explain to me quantum mechanics, but do it like I'm a 5-year-old."

"Gaga googoo."

"Yo! I said 5-year-old, not a baby."

"Oh...er... Alright. Imagine that your little sibling shits in the bathtub."

We find that the presence of #explanations increases reliance on both correct and incorrect LLM responses.

This isn't surprising, given prior HCI/Psychology work on other types of explanations, but raises the question whether LLMs should provide explanations by default 🤔

First, through a think-aloud study (N=16) in which participants use ChatGPT to answer objective questions, we identify 3 features of LLM responses that shape users' reliance: #explanations (supporting details for answers), #inconsistencies in explanations, and #sources.

Uusi numero Informal Logic -journaalissa on ilmestynyt, https://informallogic.ca/index.php/informal_logic

Sisältää mm. pohdintaa false dilemman virheellisyydestä, argumenttien hyveteoreettisesta arvioinnista, syvistä erimielisyyksistä, selitysten justifioivuudesta sekä jatkoa keskusteluun argumenteilla argumentoinnista.

Pois-pääteltynä muistetaan päättelyvirheiden ja fiktion logiikkaa tutkinutta ja tietoteorian matematisoinnista haaveillutta John Woodsia.

Notice how explanations don’t explain anything and fail to bring an end to questioning. As children we knew this very well. Always asking ‘why?’ to every explanation and answer given. We, and by definition the Universe, are unknowable, like a ruler trying to measure itself.
