"When Cognitive Reflection Leads to Less Overall but More Systematic Judgment Bias":
🤨 Participants who performed better on trick math and logic questions (a.k.a., reflection tests) were MORE (not less) likely to commit a statistical error: a "tendency to underestimate base rates".
🤔 However, the performing well on the trick questions also predicted a LOWER absolute (value of) error.

@jbaert Ik hoop dat ze dat niet doen: 26% True Positive, 9% False Positive ... Als 10% van de klas ChatGPT gebruikt, dan gaat 75% van de ‘dit is een AI’ voorspellingen een valse beschuldiging zijn. #BaseRateFallacy
