LLMs are now widely used in social science as stand-ins for humans—assuming they can produce realistic, human-like text
But... can they? We don’t actually know.
In our new study, we develop a Computational Turing Test.
And our findings are striking:
LLMs may be far less human-like than we think.🧵

Computational Turing Test Reveals Systematic Differences Between Human and AI Language
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used in the social sciences to simulate human behavior, based on the assumption that they can generate realistic, human-like text. Yet this assumption rem...

How are different cultures represented in AI-generated images? Which biases do they embed? We did a deep exploratory analysis during our internal hackathon! A great way to also welcome the recent new members of our team!
About last week’s internal hackathon 😏
Last week, we -- the (Amazing) Social Computing Group, held an internal hackathon to work on our informally called “Cultural Imperialism” project.
