I terminated my @zenbusiness.bsky.social account today, which they make difficult to do. I expressed my frustration during the process.
Imagine my surprise when I got an email saying I had written a positive review about them on trustpilot.com. I did not write that. This is fraud. Stay away.

I don't have a great sense for the exact minimum. No doubt it will depend on eliciting prompt, construct, and model. But we do see that absolute error is modestly associated with length and at lower number of diaries/minutes (2 samples) we see things stabilize at some point.

We compared them to other natural language processing methods, like LIWC and bespoke personality machine learning models, and they excelled compared to those, too.

We also examined whether the LLM scored traits could predict "non global self-reported things," and they could. With important outcomes, like diagnoses and being in psychiatric treatment.
They don't beat self-report, except for treatment, which is the least contaminated by self-report method var.

We then correlated both self and LLM scored traits with a whole bunch of other personality scales and looked at the profile correlations to see if the LLM traits had similar nomological nets.
They did. See this table. Note that LLM profiles are cross-method, and self report are mono method.

We used two datasets, one with 30min of spontaneous through narratives and one with ~2 weeks of brief daily video diaries.
We had a bunch of LLMs score them for the big-5 then correlated with participant self-reported traits. This figure has our main results.

Who says post publication peer review can't work. The first post pub review is in on our paper. Thanks, Joann!

I'll be asking Joann to review the next paper I edit. Succinct. I like that.

Huge line for free smoothies this AM, but I must be getting old. My only thought was “I’d rather pay than take the time to wait”
