Fascinating and disturbing finding on how AI co-writing can influence opinion from Maurice Jakesh thesis research (h/t @natematias ). Jakesh had people write short essays using an AI tool like Google Autocomplete on whether social media was good or bad. When the tool pre-generated language supportive of social media (top bar), people were more likely to write essays with that opinion and vice versa (bottom bar).
@elipariser @natematias Last Week's "On the Media" podcast focused on AI. Apparently some new AI tools are close to being able to research and write reports on demand. I can imagine it writing white papers to order, which would replace me in what I was doing before retirement.
