Experiments revealed that LLMs could increase conservative readers' trust in liberal news headlines by reframing content, but only when the intervention targeted ideological framing rather than superficial language. Notably, the models overestimated their own effectiveness and lacked the psychological accuracy to evaluate their interventions without human oversight. AI

    Can AI Debias the News? LLM Interventions Improve Cross-Partisan Receptivity but LLMs Overestimate Their Own Effectiveness
