LLMs are now widely used in social science as stand-ins for humans—assuming they can produce realistic, human-like text But... can they? We don’t actually know. In our new study, we develop a Computational Turing Test. And our findings are striking: LLMs may be far less human-like than we think.🧵

How are different cultures represented in AI-generated images? Which biases do they embed? We did a deep exploratory analysis during our internal hackathon! A great way to also welcome the recent new members of our team!
