Human-AI accuracy gains did not fully carry through
An empirical study found that human-AI synergy is not automatic. Better model accuracy did not fully become better assisted human accuracy. The result warns against assuming that a stronger model creates the same gain for the person using it.
Beyond Prompting
What the source reports
The paper reports an empirical study of human-AI synergy. Synergy means the combined human and AI result is better than either part alone. Only part of the model accuracy gain carried through to assisted human accuracy. The packet does not state the task, sample size, or effect size.
