I reported on an experiment this week that blew my mind. Psychologists at @Cornell recruited thousands of people to talk with ChatGPT about a conspiracy theory they believed. They wanted to know: Is it true that conspiracy theories rarely get convinced out of their beliefs? 🧵 JFK, 9/11, the 2020 election being stolen, Walt Disney being cryogenically frozen -- participants in the study were asked to explain why they believed the conspiracy theory, and to rate their belief from 1 to 100. (100 being total certainty.)
