Will be presenting our work next week at #EMNLP2024 in Computational Social Science + Cultural Analytics session 1 (Nov 12)!! Come say hello ☺️🌴

✨EMNLP Paper ✨ Wouldn't it be great if we can also listen to LLM responses when we can't look at a screen? Problem: LLMs generate responses without considering the unique constraints of speech 😢 🎉 Let's fix that with Speechworthy Instruction-tuned Language Models

Thank you so much 🩵✨

Some tasks are painful to do. But some are fulfilling and fun. How do they line up with the tasks that AI agents are set to automate? Not that well, based on our new paper "Future of Work with AI Agents: Auditing Automation and Augmentation Potential across the U.S. Workforce"

Can LLMs appropriately explain “Why is the sky blue?” …to a 10-year-old 👶🏽 vs. someone with a PhD in physics 👩🏽‍🔬? In our #ACL2025 paper, we evaluate how well how well LLMs can tailor their explanations to different people.✍️ 🔗 inklab.usc.edu/eli-why 🧵 (1/n)

BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users & the results are terrifying. Turns out, AI isn't making us more productive. It's making us cognitively bankrupt. Here's what 4 months of data revealed: (hint: we've been measuring productivity all wrong)
