📣 New preprint! We know humans are biased against AI-creativity. But what about LLMs, now often judging creativity in various contexts? Do they replicate, transform, or amplify this bias? We tested it. Turns out: AI is 2.5X more biased against its own work than humans. arxiv.org/pdf/2510.08831 🧵

This is a good post on how to get better at using AI. It's the product of pretty intensive research on what consistently works although I don't surface that research directly in it.

Is the LLM response wrong, or have you just failed to iterate it?
Many "errors" in search-assisted LLMs are not errors at all, but the result of an investigation aborted too soon. Here's how to up your LLM-based verification game by going to round two.

I neither endorse nor criticize the original preprint, I haven't really spent the time with it
But my overall thought is, stay safe out there if you're a tech researcher right now touching any of these topics, because hype headlines and marketing cycles are not interested in your reputation

The key is, can we teach students to relate to AI as an informed co-producer and not purely as a consumer?
Where we can’t, students and instructors alike will be in a weak position vis-a-vis the companies that produce intellectual capital.
But fingers crossed that we can.
