Are (some) AI tools more persuasive than a lobbyist/activist?
It seems the answer is 'yes'.
According to a new study (https://lnkd.in/eqWqx5PM), Claude (a tool like ChatGPT/Gemini) could convince people more effectively than incentivized humans.
What does that mean for advocacy, politics, democracy, mis/disinformation, and parenting ("you gotta eat your broccoli!") ?
When these tools are integrated into humanoid robots, the tool itself will be invisible but its impact is going to be far-reaching.
Until then, you can use it to craft better arguments, memorable press releases (OK, that's an oxymoron), and speeches that actually get the audience fired up.
