Diversity makes our scholarship more creative, more robust, more compassionate.

So many people confuse LLMs (or genAI, in general) for models of human cognition, language, learning, etc., so I thought it may be useful to share once more my brief comment, titled "Psychological models and their distractors". (open access link: rdcu.be/cGQpY) 🧵 1/n

Being creative might not always be about groundbreaking and novel ideas—it may often be about spotting details others don’t, such as Newton viewing the significance of a falling apple. It may also be “leaky” attention and salient preferences.
