This is an important and very well-written paper! I don’t usually praise papers I co-author, but in this case, Michele has done a stellar job! @tcdsociology.bsky.social and @researchireland.ie should be very proud of their PhD students!

🚨 New preprint!
What happens if you combine X's Community Notes with an AI like Grok?
We show that AI-generated counterarguments can improve the perceived quality of notes.
✅ Done correctly, AI can simulate political diversity

New Preprint:
Our gender-based exploitation doesn’t disappear when working with AI—it can actually become stronger. Our experiments reveal how gender bias persists and even amplifies in human-AI collaboration.

New preprint:
It is often assumed that conspiracy theories stem from a lack of interest in science or education. However, the real issue lies not in disinterest but in a flawed perception that science is the work of extraordinary individuals; geniuses. doi.org/10.31219/osf...
