I am begging AI researchers trying to study human impact to get very rapidly better at methodology so I don't constantly read halfway through these papers only to find some ridiculous experiment design that will throw the conclusions into the air.
I've been burned so many times; I've learned my lesson. You really need to read each of these things carefully if you want to understand what the researchers are concluding. Reading a news article—even worse, just the headline—is at best no information, at worst disinformation.
The paper in question today is one from an Ars article that I won't link to prevent hype.
But reading this thing is a journey. From inventing a new classification of cognition to entirely abstract experiment design for "Brain only" and "AI Use" control/experimental groups, the conclusions can't be taken seriously. They feel "truthy," but that's all they can be
goatcheese@mttaggart I didn't read the paper, but the moment the Ars article mentioned "fluid IQ" is when I thought "oh no, this is gonna be hogwash huh?".
Thanks for reading it and confirming 😮💨
