🚨New research alert! 🚨 Tired of expensive, time-consuming experiments? 😴 We propose a new way to test and extend social science theories with an LLM-based framework: Generative AI-Based Experimentation (GABE) 🤖 abhishekn.com/publications-a… w/ @MTranchero @_arulm_ & Cecil B.

Our paper (with @wajeeha__ahmad , @erikbryn, and Chuck Eeseley) on the role of advertisers and platforms in monetizing misinformation is now published in @Nature! See @erikbryn's thread below and link to the paper here: nature.com/articles/s4158…

I'm excited to share the first paper from my PhD work published today in Nature. We study how misinformation is financially sustained and the role that companies and platforms play in financing it. nature.com/articles/s4158…

We use natural language processing to identify different types of content and show how these benefit differently from engaging users. Thus, we can provide evidence for Allan Afuah & Christopher Tucci (2012)'s conceptualization of "Crowdsourcing as a solution to distant search".

Ever wondered about the intricate dynamics between UGC and professionally developed content on online platforms? Using data from local news our findings reveal when and where content from citizen journalists and professional journalists might be complements or substitutes.
