🚨How should we design surveys to capture opinion in fast-changing contexts or within hard-to-reach communities? 🚨 My paper, conditionally accepted at @PolAnalysis, develops a method that leverages LLMs and adaptive algorithms to construct surveys that evolve with user input.

How is artificial intelligence going be deployed? We know historically that when machinery came into production, John Stuart Mill said, machinery should lighten the load of labor, I cannot understand why when machinery is actually employed, it is doubling the load of labor. [1/8]

I just read the paper in full; it is even more spectacular than I initially thought. A short thread about the results and their significance.

This is the best paper written so far about the impact of AI on scientific discovery

This looks interesting & important.

New paper w/ @caprosser at @apsrjournal A recent paper claim rising mass polarization in US is actually declining survey cooperation rates (only diehard partisans responding). We show evidence that this actually results from overly strong regularization cambridge.org/core/journals/…

All languages covey information at a similar rate when spoken (39bits/s). Languages that are spoken faster have less information density per syllable! One of the coolest results in linguistics.

Thanks, Andrew; I appreciate the note of partial agreement. Regarding the substance, it's unclear whether causality theory itself has strong assumptions or if this is based on your interpretation of it (or some claimed variation of it). In terms of language and overall…

This is bad news for research. We've benefitted enormously from high-quality online experimentation for the last 15 years or so, but this is now at risk because LLMs are good at imitating people.

Online research surveys may be a dying methodology as techniques for verifying respondents as humans are failing: “Automatic AI detection systems are currently completely unusable… Individual attention checks will no longer be a sufficient tool to ensure good data quality.”
