New paper with Peter @schwardmann! We experimentally test two hypotheses for how humans might retain a role in production despite growing AI capabilities.

1. They may have a durable advantage over AI in "taste."

2. Humans may intrinsically prefer that products be human-made.

New paper! Peter Schwardmann and I ask: Does AI advice make people more polarized by flattering their existing views? Our experiment includes 1,500 participants, 10,000 human-AI interactions, and 30 decision environments across economics and social science.

My paper is now forthcoming at @J_HumanResource!

tl;dr: US college freshmen make big mistakes about average salaries by major. Correcting these beliefs has large effects on their eventual major choice. Mechanisms don’t seem cut-and-dry, however.
