LLMs are good at predicting—does that scale to decision making?
No, argue Sako & Felin, they cannot envision possibilities beyond existing data, generate new hypotheses or run experiments to get new data—essential for general real-world decisions:

Super important paper on the limits of AI in decision-making, especially as the "AI first" trend escalates and we try to understand cases where AI should NOT be used.

11 years later, I still think the frame problem is a knock down argument against AI (when it comes to novelty)

Ask your ChatGPT this question:
"Alice has 4 brothers and 1 sister. How many sisters does Alice’s brother have?"
I did - just now. See below. These types of problems provide a window into key issues with AI.

Tens of thousands of psychological measures have been created, but 79% are not reused more than twice.
In a new article in NHB lead by @faridanvari.bsky.social and @ruben.the100.ci we quantify this fragmentation in psychology's measures and propose solutions.
