What power social simulacra are LLMs (e.g., GPT-3). We observe that their training data has a wide range of social behavior & they can generate compelling simulacra of possible interactions w/ proper prompting. This lets us ask “what if” questions to iterate on our design. (5/10)

3. What will future systems look like with LLMs? We are at an interesting point in computing history. LLMs and other foundation models have become powerful enough to give us a chance to realize our long-standing goals, such as fully general human-like agents. (8/14)

We are already seeing early forms of foundation model-powered applications (e.g. GitHub Copilot powered by OpenAI Codex). I expect that we will see strong growth of work in the vein of PixelTone, CommandSpace, Screen2Vec, CodeMend, and The Elements of Fashion Style. (5/11)

We measured this by designing a human-AI pipeline that identifies these norm violations at scale, and a bootstrap estimation procedure to quantify measurement uncertainty. Our measurement covers two periods: (1) 2016, and (2) 2020–21. (4/13)

The adaptability of foundation models through natural language prompts may relax this conflict by lowering the threshold (Myers, Hudson, and Pausch 2000), potentially enough for anyone to prototype their own AI models—tightening that iterative loop. (3/11)

Probably the right conversation to have here involves the need for massive shifts in how we envision these systems. Can we look beyond social media’s predominant role as a public square to one where reachability can co-exist with a stronger sense of shared norms? (11/13)

... the need for a close collaboration with social computing stakeholders and accountability measures/evaluation techniques such as auditing to ensure that our prototyping approach is used for its intended purpose—empowering online communities—and not for auto-trolling. (9/10)

In threads of this genre, I usually summarize the technical contribution of our work, but I've noticed that others have already done that well. So instead, I will offer three updates/reflections on generative agents. (2/14)

So far, the vast amount of data, computing resources, and skills needed to create a functional task-specific model were frequently in conflict with the iterative prototyping process. (2/11)

In an "important victory for civil rights," today the US Supreme Court ruled that journalists & computing researchers who investigate online platforms aren't criminal hackers who exceed "authorized access." They cited... well... us! Also it's my birthday.

@QVeraLiao @ZiangXiao Yes!! We should absolutely do this! I think Kristen told me she is coming as well a few days ago..? (though I might be totally misremembering) I can start a thread later today :)

I also learned a lot from @_rnbrewer while collaborating with her on our AIES paper. Really looking forward to all the cool things Robin will do during her year at Google PAIR!

*So what does this all mean?* For social computing designers, this means they can design “proactively.” Participating designers in our study said that they are in the practice of reactive design, implementing interventions only after a dumpster fire damages the community. (6/10)

Foundation models will also amplify questions the HCI community has already been asking. e.g. How will AI affect our trust in one another in AI-mediated comm? Who's the author of the AI-generated content? What happens when AI misbehaves and disappoints users & communities? (6/11)

I believe that these are the questions that generative agents will help us answer. And this possibility is what excites me today. (4/6)

To me, the challenge is reminiscent of those faced before in computing. Though computers are powerful, it was developments such as object-oriented programming, the MVC design pattern, and operating systems that enabled truly complex and useful interactive applications. (10/14)

@groceryheist @josephseering @msbernst Thanks for the question! Short answer -- it is, for a number of reasons. 1) We *would not have known* that they were so common prior to running the study. The number could have been 0.1% -- that's why we run these study.
