I'm happy to be fifth (!) author on this thoughtful paper at CHI by Madiha Zahrah Choksi and Marianne Aubin Le Quéré on how Nextdoor users surveil their neighborhoods. (Spoiler alert: there's a lot of anxiety about petty crimes, and it's related to gentrification.) Some very clever research methods and some very interesting findings.

🚨New Pub at PNAS🚨! We know people cannot detect language written by AI. But what makes them THINK text was AI-generated? We show that people have consistent heuristics... that are flawed & can be exploited by AI to create text "more human than human" 🧵

well, I wasn't planning to join Mastodon but it was an answer in today's NYT crossword so that must mean I'm already late to the party...
