🚨New working paper🚨 (link in reply). Are workers hesitant to use AI because they worry how it makes them look?. In an online experiment, I find that social image concerns, EVEN when such concerns are not instrumental, lead people to reject helpful AI advice and perform worse.

Couldn’t agree more with this! 🔥.
The External Validity crisis continues. I just opened my Editorial journal folder and 5 out of 5 studies have that as a main criticism. Here is my quick take: unique environments are not imperfect if they represent exactly what the researcher needs to test her hypotheses.

Stores are locking up basic products like shampoo, but is it really stopping theft? Or just discouraging customers who don’t want the hassle of asking for help?
