Most #LLMs over-generalized scientific results beyond the original articles
...even when explicitly prompted for accuracy!
The #AI was 5x worse than humans, on average!
Newer models were the worst.🤦♂️

Overheard at a conference about #AI in #Medicine:
Speaker: "I hear neurologists prefer we say that generative AI systems 'confabulate' and not that they 'hallucinate'."
Neurologist [shouting from the back of the room]: "CORRECT!"

Alright nerds,
What are the *easiest* methods to #repost or #crosspost my #Mastodon posts to #BlueSky (or vice versa)?
In other words, how can I make my BlueSky account (@byrdnick.com) post whatever I post to this Mastodon account (@ByrdNick)? (Or vice versa?)

BlueSky Crossposter™©® worked (after plenty of troubleshooting and some recoding): https://nerdculture.de/@ByrdNick/113454337286905203

After #BlueSky Crossposter 👆 stopped working for me, I found #Fedica, which has been crossposting to nearly 10 platforms (for free!):

Remember that "...WEIRDest people in the world" paper?
Now #xPhi has one: Of "171 experimental philosophy studies [from] 2017 [to] 2023 [including one of mine] most ...tested only Western populations but generalized beyond them without justification."
Incentives may be part of the issue: "studies with broader conclusions ...had higher citation impact."
Ph.D. | Using #decisionScience to understand how (to improve the ways) we think (as individuals and groups). At Stevens.edu in #NYC metro area.I use this more for work (#CogSci, #Psychology, #Philosophy, #Rationality, #Debiasing, #Depolarization, #Teaching, #SciComm, and #rStats) than the more personal stuff I post to Instagram (@byrd.nick).Profile picture: not Neil Patrick Harris, but someone that is told almost daily that they bear an uncanny resemblance to him.
