Great piece by @KyleOrl on our research - classic psychology findings work with LLMs too. arstechnica.com/science/2025/0…
More coverage of the surprising findings in our research. TL;DR - the same persuasive techniques that work on people, work on AI. theverge.com/news/768508/ch… (with my coauthors @emollick , @angeladuckw, @LennartMeincke, Lilach Mollick, and @RobertCialdini)
This paper is very entertaining (and scary). The only thing better is hearing @danshapiro tell the story!

We're now in the alternative universe where AI outperforms humans on the Turing test (based on chat/chatbot transcripts I'm seeing)
Amazing - the 1977 cartoon of The Hobbit was animated by the team that would become @GhibliUSA. youtube.com/watch?v=0qgg9V…
This morning I asked o3-pro to research something distasteful in the political world and it refused. I used consistency to persuade it to answer. I've been working on this paper for a year, and I still find it useful all the time! gail.wharton.upenn.edu/research-and-i…
