LLMs struggle to predict misinformation sharing, study finds

A new arXiv paper explores the effectiveness of using Large Language Models (LLMs) to evaluate misinformation risk. Researchers found that while LLMs can accurately predict human credibility ratings for deceptive content, they are less effective at predicting willingness to share such content. The study suggests that directly asking an LLM for the target response may not always yield the most predictive score, and indirect questioning through related judgments could be more beneficial. AI

    When Direct Prediction Fails: Evidence from LLM-Based Misinformation Risk Evaluation

    arXiv:2604.06820v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: LLMs make it increasingly easy to generate deceptive content at scale, creating a need for scalable misinformation risk evaluation based on whether readers find such content credible and are willing to share it. A natural approa…
