Interesting research: “Humans expect rationality and cooperation from LLM opponents in strategic games.”
Abstract: As Large Language Models (LLMs) integrate into our social and economic interactions, we need to deepen our understanding of how humans respond to LLMs opponents in strategic settings. We present the results of the first controlled monetarily-incentivised labor...
The strongest version of this narrative highlights a fascinating paradox: humans, particularly those with high strategic reasoning, attribute rational and cooperative behavior to LLMs—entities that fundamentally lack intent or social understanding. The study’s rigor, with its controlled experimental design and monetary incentives, lends credibility to the observation that people adjust their strategies based on perceived AI capabilities. This suggests a deep-seated human tendency to anthropomorp...
