"The term ‘Artificial Intelligence’ (AI) means many things to many people (see Table 1) (...). One meaning of ‘AI’ that seems often forgotten these days is one that played a crucial role in the birth of cognitive science as an interdiscipline in the 1970s and ’80s." 2/n

Interesting study finds most people take AI "advice" as more confident, competent and trustworthy than identical advice from humans.
This is our starting point: people don't just think of LLMs as trustworthy,they think of them as more trustworthy than actual humans. What are the social implications?

Super cool work form @ccolomb.bsky.social and @smfleming.bsky.social showing that humans seem to trust AI systems more in decision making!
Fascinating new study from @smfleming.bsky.social finds an illusion of overconfidence in AI decision making - humans judge artificial systems to be more confident and take their advice more readily.

The “we’ll train AI on anything you say or share in Zoom” is bad, but it’s less troubling ti me than the implication of “we record anything you say or share in Zoom and therefore now own that content.”

“If language can be completely reified as math, then it can no longer express new possibilities; this in principle would seem to make LLMs attractive to authoritarians and their aspirations to permanent rule”
