  • Results of the study:

    Notably, all our treatments surpass human performance substantially, achieving persuasive rates between three and six times higher than the human baseline.

    UP TO 6 TIMES MORE PERSUASIVE!!1

    we demonstrate that LLMs can be highly persuasive in real-world contexts, surpassing all previously known benchmarks of human persuasiveness. Their effectiveness also opens the door to misuse, potentially en-

    AI-generated content [22–24]. Throughout our intervention, users of r/ChangeMyView never

  • Property damage can sometimes be considered terrorism, depending on the intent, scale, and impact of the act. Many legal definitions of terrorism include serious destruction of property if it is intended to:

    • Intimidate or coerce a population (e.g., setting fire to critical infrastructure to spread fear).
    • Influence a government or international organization (e.g., bombing government buildings to force political change).
    • Cause widespread disruption (e.g., cyberattacks on essential services).

    Tesla dealerships are not critical infrastructure, government buildings or essential services.

    It’s really a stretch to call this terrorism.
