"AI cannot replace human participants in behavioral research"

My take: fair for new findings, less so for replications. #LLMs have absorbed the nomological networks between constructs, so they may reproduce known effects.

"AI safety" is usually just a euphemism for "corporate risk management." Hard-coded refusal layers don't protect users; they protect the company's brand. We've traded raw model intelligence for predictable, sanitized templates. #AISafety #LLMs

When humans reason, we fill in characters and scenes, often missing the true causal and statistical relationships between things.
#LLMs only reason on statistical relationships and miss the causal bit completely because they are trained on the word world.

So far, #LLMs have helped me do a lot of things successfully, but only things I know I want it to do, because I confidently know what those things are. “Create a module for API calls,” because I know that that’s a thing that computers do… how are people vibecoding things they don’t know even exist?!
