OPENAI SAYS ITS MODELS ARE MORE PERSUASIVE THAN 82 PERCENT OF REDDIT USERS

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

OpenAI tested ChatGPT's persuasiveness against Reddit's ChangeMyView forum and found that its current AI models rank as more persuasive than humans in 82% of comparisons but still fall short of "superhuman" levels. The company warns of potential risks if AI achieves near-zero-cost human-level persuasive writing, as this could aid biased journalism and scams. OpenAI is implementing measures to monitor and mitigate AI-based persuasion, particularly regarding political influence and large-scale manipulation.
