Propaganda we're not falling for:
🦈Sharks are scary (amazing creatures, important for the ecosystem)
🌊Benthic invertebrates aren’t cute (they are precious)
🪨Geology is boring (rocks ROCK)
📈Long-term data sets aren't important (they are SO important!)
🔬Science isn’t cool (science rules, obviously)

This study, just published, comes to similar conclusions re: the persuasiveness of LLMs as the changemyview Reddit experiment. I guess it is possible to answer important research questions ethically. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
On the conversational persuasiveness of GPT-4 - Nature Human Behaviour
Salvi et al. find that GPT-4 outperforms humans in debates when given basic sociodemographic data. With personalization, GPT-4 had 81.2% higher odds of post-debate agreement than humans.
