All those people saying “I was skeptical of AI, until I tried Claude and I was amazed that it could tell me this and this and this” sound just like

“I was skeptical of psychics, but then Madame Fortuna told me something only my dead wife would know!”

Human perception has certain well-documented flaws that confidence men prey upon, and you are not immune from these

@monkeyborg Where have these flaws been documented? I want to read about them!

@sashin @monkeyborg There's an article here: https://biolecta.com/articles/exploring-psychic-tricks-analysis/
If you then search some of the terms used, such as "cognitive bias" you'll find more information.

@anne_twain @sashin Are you trying to be ironic by linking an AI-generated article?

EDIT: Folks, please no more replies to this. It was a simple mistake. Piling on after the mistake has been called is not a good look. You may have caught this one, but you’re not too smart to fall for AI, and if you think you are, the original post was about you.

@monkeyborg @sashin No I'm trying to be helpful to Sashin who wants to learn more about the subject. The article has a named author and author bio.

@anne_twain @sashin I apologize, I intended no disrespect.

I don't believe that's a human-written article. My day job involves editing articles for a university magazine. The writing style here immediately felt off to me, much like an AI-generated image feels off. There is too much imitation of writing formalisms, too little specific information.

I could be wrong. But I can't find a Linda Tran at Berkeley. Even if there were, why would a physicist be writing an article on human psychology?

@monkeyborg @sashin Thank you for your apology, though I don't blame you at all. I look at it this way - we were living in the Information Age, now we're moving into what I call the Age of Bewilderment, when we are constantly uncertain about the credibility of what we see, hear and read. Even if one person is certain, they'll meet with others who are not certain. Stopping to debate every possibility will just be exhausting, don't you think?

@anne_twain @monkeyborg @sashin but that is definitely 100% an AI-generated webpage. There's not much to debate here.

@schratze @monkeyborg @sashin Like I said, exhausting.

@anne_twain it is kind of relevant to point out LLM generated resources in a thread that informs about LLMs, don't you think? even more so if you are the one presenting information that is, with a high degree of confidence, generated.
