Can you give an example of a bug the LLM found? Did you have to first explain what the code was intended to do?

I am so sorry for your loss, Anil. You wrote so warmly about your mother in your book.

Thanks. Yeah… for now, LLMs are undoubtedly limited. I’d say it’s not about thinking for you. In some cases where I benefited, it was about getting hints (e.g., a direction of thought I hadn’t considered before). Just one more way to challenge yourself.

Asking an LLM to critique your research ideas or to search for confounds in the planned experiment, might also occasionally be helpful.

Indeed, Figs. 1 and 2 are insightful. We are using social animations, and it was illuminating to learn the extent the activation patterns vary across the paradigms.

That’s a good question...
Those individuals have probably completed the VVIQ more than once in their lives. However, if the test-retest reliability of the VVIQ is good, then it’s probably not a major issue.

From our perspective, it's obviously great that there are people willing to participate for free.. I’ve run some experiments on MTurk, where money is the only incentive. So, at Aphantasia Network has access to a large sample size, though the participants there are not entirely naïve.

There were 35,467 participants from aphantasia.com. The authors do not mention whether the participants were paid, so does this mean that people on the site are willing to take part in experiments just for fun...

It may also learn from your own requests. I now asked it to give me references on one of research themes I interacted with it previously. The refs and biblio details were correct. When I did the same request from account which had not made cognitive requests previously, the references were wrong.

Once they solve hallucinations with references, it will be difficult (or even impossible) to know whether the scientific writing was generated by a human or not. So, the way it works now offer some advantages 😀
