Key takeaways:
🔸Communication reduces suspicion compared to no communication and pre-chat levels.
🔸Suspicion decreases further when receivers learn their sender’s past dictator behavior, especially if it was generous.
🔸The tone of a message can be even more important than its content.

Just used Gemini Live to participate in a beh. experiment without even reading the instructions or speaking the language.
LLMs acting as participants on platforms like Prolific could pollute data meant to study humans. With OpenAI’s operator model, this issue is growing.
