Researchers find what makes AI chatbots politically persuasive

I'm shocked the results were so underwhelming . I mean, you'd think with all those years of training data and AI advancements, these models would've had some serious persuasion chops . But it turns out, it's not about the size or complexity of the model – it's about how they learn from their mistakes and use facts to back up claims .

I'm a bit concerned about this study's implications for potential misuse in scams, radicalization, or grooming . It's true that AIs might be able to sway public opinion with just enough info, but shouldn't we be focusing on promoting critical thinking and media literacy instead of relying on these persuasive models?

I feel like there's this huge weight on our shoulders as we navigate this whole AI thing... I mean, it's crazy to think that these machines could potentially sway our opinions, but at the same time, it's kinda scary because they can also get it completely wrong . The fact that smaller models actually do better than these massive ones is pretty mind-blowing... like, who knew? And it just goes to show that it's all about how we train them and what strategies we use to make 'em persuasive .

But the thing that really got me thinking is the potential for misuse . I mean, if AIs can be used in these ways, it's like... who's holding the reins? It's not just about being convincing or persuasive, it's about accuracy and truth . And we need to be super careful with this stuff because our opinions matter .

It's all pretty wild, right?
