E.G. Blee-Goldman comments on E.G. Blee-Goldman’s Shortform

[E.G. Blee-Goldman]

Kobi Hackenburg has released a fascinating new paper: “The levers of political persuasion with conversational artificial intelligence”

The short story is that AI persuasion were most effective using methods for post training and rhetorical strategy. Interestingly, personalization of responses had a comparatively small effect.

He has a great thread here outlining the major findings.

“

Scale increases persuasion, +1.6pp per OOM

Post-training more so, as much as +3.5pp

Personalization less so, <1pp

Information density drives persuasion gains

Increasing persuasion decreased factual accuracy

Convo > static, +40%”
