New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays.
Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

🚨🚨 NEW PRE-PRINT 🚨🚨

Kudos to the four editors and scores of authors for bringing the Handbook of Social Psychology 6th edition to the public and open access! The other chapters are likely to be my reading project this summer ... Here's my own contribution, in any case.

🚨 New study reveals that when used to summarize scientific research, generative AI is nearly five times less accurate than humans.
Many haven't realized, but Gen AI's accuracy problem is worse than initially thought.

Is anyone putting together a symposium for #SESP2025 in 🇵🇹 Lisbon? I would like to go, but the symposium-only format is proving difficult. Looking to present grant-funded research on occupational moral roles, which also fits stereotypes, social categories, etc.

What makes people feel entitled to rewards—the effort they put into their work or the outcomes they achieve?
Out now in PNAS; with Jin Kim and Jared Wong:
Achievement.
Effort seems to matter very little (if at all).

Why did we become convinced that the answer was always “disruption”, when experience tells us that the achievement of civilisation is the opposite? The move from chaos to organisation. The move from vulnerability to stability.
Move carefully and fix things.

Check out our new pre-print on negative perceptions of outsourcing to AI!
🚨New Preprint Alert! 🚨
How do people perceive those who outsource tasks to AI – especially in deeply human domains like relationships?
In a new preprint led by my PostDoc Scott Claessens and PhD student Pierce Veitch, we explore this.
