#ChatGPT for Good: I have found it to be useful for revising paper reviews. Non-native speakers can sometimes sound harsher than they intend, as they may not fully grasp the nuances of the English language. ChatGPT does a great job of helping to rewrite reviews with elegance and kindness.

“Having reviewed the many rejection letters I have received in the last few weeks, it is with great regret that I must inform you I am unable to accept your rejection at this time.”

In my humble opinion, this book should be a must-read in all classes of quantitative methodology in social sciences (and not only). #StatisticalLiteracy #dataanalysis #rstats @sociology

#ChatGPT preforms really poorly in logical and mathematical reasoning. Is it because these kinds of problems are still too difficult for #AI or just because this tool is not optimized for them?

The impact of Facebook’s vaccine misinformation policy on the endorsements of vaccine problematic content in the Italian context - Nicola Righetti
