In an AI-powered world, genuine human perspectives are both precious and vulnerable.

The line between human and AI-generated responses is blurring, threatening the very foundation of academic research.

Super excited to share this work with the world!

We wanted to put human preference at the heart of our AI model leaderboard, and to do so in a principled and representative manner.

The result: HUMAINE

"Through three experiments (N = 975), we found that bots, though more prosocial than humans and linguistically distinguishable, were not selected preferentially when their identity was hidden. Instead, humans misattributed bots’ behavior to humans and vice versa."
