🧵How do LLM-driven chatbots with "long-term memory" affect socially isolated people's self-disclosure and engagement?

Have you experienced fraudulence while conducting an HCI study? You are not alone! Consider submitting a case study to our @acm_chi #chi2024 workshop to discuss experiences, define fraud, brainstorm strategies on research integrity, and build community. https://t.co/ku1cYVNeBl

Hi everyone. I am leading a research project at UC Irvine advised by @daepstein where we're trying to learn how to best support people in making custom watch faces. In this study we will hold one interview lasting 90-120 minutes total where we will have a short drawing activity.
