For example I’ve noted before that I suspect current levels of AI persuasion/manipulation capabilities has lagged behind AI capabilities overall (this is nonobvious and I don’t defend it here but my impression from talking to empirical researchers on AI persuasion is that they broadly agree with me).
IMO this is also visible in AI writing. I would imagine persuasion and writing capabilities should go hand in hand, and while AI is getting better at producing stuff people are willing to read, it’s still obviously not a human-replacement level (and indeed has mostly succeeded in automating formulaic/procedural writing like summaries and lit reviews). Will be interesting to see this going forward.
