    I saw a study recently that found, when using “AI”, people are more likely to lie/cheat/steal.

      I wonder if that study accounted for a self selection bias. Could it just be that people who use AI were already people who lie/cheat/steal more often?

        I had the same thought, but no, it was a controlled experiment where participants were given tasks that may or may not involve an AI tool, and the ones involving AI came back with less honest answers.

          And by lie, is that with intent? Or spread misinformation without knowing?

          What was the speculated rationale in the discussion? Was it that humans feel less accountable if the work is done by AI?
