If you tell an AI to convince someone of a true vs. false claim, does truth win? In our *new* working paper, we find... ‘LLMs can effectively convince people to believe conspiracies’ But telling the AI not to lie might help. Details in thread

Happy to share that my first paper is out in Thinking & Reasoning! 📄📢 With Aikaterini Voudouri,
@boissinesther.bsky.social
&
@wimdeneys.bsky.social
we show that deliberate reasoning helps not just to correct but also to justify intuitive judgments. 🔗Full paper:

Conspiracies emerge in the wake of high-profile events, but you can’t debunk them with evidence because little yet exists. Does this mean LLMs can’t debunk conspiracies during ongoing events? No! We show they can in a new working paper. PDF:

Recent research shows that AI can durably reduce belief in conspiracies. But does this work b/c the AI is good at producing evidence, or b/c ppl really trust AI? In a new working paper, we show that the effect persists even if the person thinks they're talking to a human:

Who benefits (or doesn't) from debiasing training? We find that intuitive-analytic thinking dispositions, and not cognitive ability, predict training effectiveness. New paper from:

's lab had a bunch of posters about how reflective thinking - can be fast ("intuitive") - becomes automatic (fast) - is preferred by humans *and* chatbots
