Artificial intelligence-powered writing assistants that autocomplete sentences or offer “smart replies” not only put words into people’s mouths, they also put ideas into their heads, according to new research.
I’ve just read the abstract of the study - but it doesn’t seem to be about people mindlessly copying the AI and producing biased text as a result. Rather, it’s about people seeing the points the AI makes, thinking “Good point!” and adjusting their own opinion accordingly.
So it looks to me like it’s just the effect of where done view points get more exposure.
