Did you really have to use our community for this study? Couldn’t you have asked for consent?
Excerpt: This approach was reviewed and approved by the University of Zürich’s Ethics Committee, which acknowledged that prior consent was impractical.
What a Joke 😶

The mods of r/ChangeMyView shared the sub was the subject of a study to test the persuasiveness of LLMs & that they didn't consent. There’s a lot that went wrong, so here’s a 🧵 unpacking it, along with some ideas for how to do research with online communities ethically. tinyurl.com/59tpt988

Before you all delete your accounts on X, you should consider deleting content but "donating" them to science. Many institutions, such as @gesis-dataservices.bsky.social might use them to scrape more effectively than via burner accounts.
