As usual on point from @garymarcus.bsky.social . AI as a persuasion agent is a dangerous tool (Gary gives our work as an example, but there's a lot more, see thread) and our best guess should be that the recent Trump Executive Order on AI Bias does not intend to fix it (or fix AI Bias). Thread 1/
Elon Musk’s terrifying vision for AI; short, urgent new piece at Marcus on AI.

I've been looking for ways to estimate the persuasive impact of deployed LLM products, beyond our little controlled experiments.

We just released IssueBench – the largest, most realistic benchmark of its kind – to answer this question more robustly than ever before.

Long 🧵with spicy results 👇
