Did this tweet-storm feel tin-eared to you?
It was AI-generated.
The paper is not, although it is about AI.
But I'll be damned if I spend any more time on this platform than I have to.

As conversational AI replaces search, we asked a simple question:
Do chatbots present the same political reality to everyone?

AI is amazing but...what should social scientists do now if humans are no longer the "gold standard" for many of our research tasks? In a new ppr we (w @JamesBisbee) show how to think abt results and their robustness given fast pace of technology change.

Happy to see this published: https://t.co/Z1xleixZZk. Janet Yellen experienced sexism during her tenure as Fed Chair, from both men and women, and Dems and Reps. Lots of analysis went into demonstrating this simple and unsurprising conclusion. @atkern and @NicFraccaroli

Of course, he's off X now, but you can find this diatribe and more on his substack: https://t.co/7gEQEn1ICu

Academics left X after Musk's take-over, especially so after he reinstated thousands of accounts that had previously been banned for violating then-Twitter's ToS, including President Trump. https://t.co/N4CRKuYP7i
