Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies have found that large language models can generate persuasive content without engaging in human experimentation. |
| Approach: | They extend a dataset with debates, votes, and user traits to measure LLMs' ability to distinguish between strong and weak arguments, predict stances based on beliefs and demographic characteristics, and determine appeal of argument to individual based upon their traits. |
| Outcome: | The proposed tasks outperform human predictions in detecting convincing arguments in debates, votes, and user traits. |
