Comment on Study: Social media probably can’t be fixed

The problem with training AI bots is that they will model the human behavior from the bad environment per their training, but not the human psychological reactions to the changing environments, so it’s not really going to tell you whether the different platform makes humans behave differently.

It worries me that there are scientists out there who are making studies based on the assumption that an LLM chat bot is a reasonable stand-in for a human in this context (in any context really but that’s another conversation). It’s just not what LLMs are, it’s not what they are designed to do. They’ve fallen for the marketing.
