LLM narrative explanations may hinder decision-making performance

A new study published on arXiv explores how persuasive narrative explanations from large language models (LLMs) affect human decision-making in classification tasks. The research found that while these explanations increased reliance on AI, they did not significantly improve decision accuracy compared to AI predictions alone. Furthermore, more persuasive narratives may negatively impact response times and the ability to discern correct AI predictions, suggesting potential trade-offs in using narrative explanations. AI
