@BeatrizGietner In the other game I posted, I restricted it to abstracts from 1990 to 2020, and I should have probably set an upper bound here as well. Good point!

@jt_kerwin @cblatts Thanks for playing! I went through some of them and thought I spotted most of the errors, but I guess I have to do some more thorough cleaning.

Handed in my thesis two weeks ago and finally have time for fun again. So I built two small games about AI vs. real economics writing.

Can you tell a real top-5 journal abstract from an AI-generated fake? Three lives, no hints, leaderboard.

@CRo4st That's actually what a lot of economics research is about! Estimating causal effects, so "X increased Y by Z percent," is pretty standard in the field, even if not every abstract spells it out that way. Good point on the %, if the fakes are too predictable, something to tweak! :)

[Kevin Kloiber @EconKevin]

@JRAngEcon Interesting observation! I randomly pulled 500 real abstracts from top 5 so it was not designed in that way. I cut the abstracts after roughly 80 words, in order to not bore players, so they might have numbers in later parts.

[Kevin Kloiber @EconKevin]

@econ_lessmann @DinaPomeranz What I can tell is that it’s a) not my score and b) that’s it’s genuine as in not injected. But one could still Google the abstracts..

[Kevin Kloiber @EconKevin]

@ZainHameedo @captgouda24 Odd but true. So version 2 will include bad flowing AI abstracts. ;)

[Kevin Kloiber @EconKevin]

Both are still work in progress so happy to hear any feedback, bug reports, or ideas. And yes, I'm keeping an eye on the leaderboard.

[Kevin Kloiber @EconKevin]

Also built a second one, inspired by a recent NYT piece: two passages from the same section of an economics paper. One is human, one is AI. Pick the one that reads better and see how other readers voted.

🚀 Check out our new working paper (joint with @EconKevin & @lukaslaffers) on testing the identification of causal effects in mediation & dynamic treatment models in observational data, with an application to Slovak labor market data: https://t.co/jbmz25rlUP #EconTwitter

[Martin Huber @CausalHuber]

Delighted to attend the European #CausalInference Meeting in #Copenhagen @TheEuroCIM, where I will present work (joint with Kevin Kloiber and @lukaslaffers) on testing identification in dynamic treatment and mediation models today. https://t.co/Rv0KXqHPKM

Fast genau 6 Monate später nun die Gewissheit - auch in naher Zukunft werden wir nicht mit deutschen Gesundheitsdaten (ökonomische) Forschung betreiben können. Quo vadis, @bfarm_de @Karl_Lauterbach?
