Discussion Overview

The discussion centers on comparing performance in written work under different conditions, specifically with and without the use of AI. The focus is on evaluating written samples based on specified criteria, such as creativity, to understand the impact of AI on written quality. The inquiry includes considerations for statistical methods to analyze the data collected from a large sample.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Debate/contested, Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant proposes using correlation coefficients to assess the relationship between written work with and without AI, while acknowledging the limitations of a correlational approach due to variable manipulation.
  • Another participant suggests that the topic may be better suited for a statistics group, indicating a potential issue with the appropriateness of the discussion in the current forum context.
  • A later post indicates that discussions involving personal research or AI-generated content are not permitted in the forum.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express disagreement regarding the appropriateness of the topic for the forum, with some suggesting it should be moved to a different group, while others assert that it violates forum rules.

Contextual Notes

The discussion is limited by forum rules that prohibit personal research and AI-generated content, which may affect the exploration of the proposed statistical analysis.

I want to compare performance on written work under different conditions, for example with and without the use of AI, according to some specified criteria. Assume the written work is a critical analysis of specific content.

The written work will be scored on a number of dimensions, such as creativity etc. The goal is to gain some understanding - based on a large sample of written samples - of the extent to which AI can improve the written work. This will be a way to develop a benchmark against which we can compare individual written samples. If the correlation b/w individual written work with and w/out use of AI is sig. weaker than expected based on the analysis of a larger sample of written work, then one could argue that this warrants a question: is AI being overused by the individual?

Given the above, would calculating correlation coefficients be a good choice here? I want something simple that can be used with ease by almost anyone. At the same time, I acknowledge the fact that I am manipulating some variables, so a correlational approach may not be ideal. If so, what alternatives, if any, would you suggest?

You might have more luck posting this in the statistics group. The moderators might move it if you ask them. (If you post it there yourself they will complain about a duplicate.) You can make this request by hitting the "Report" button and typing it in.

This is not allowed at PF for two reasons: first, we don't allow discussion of personal research; and second, we don't allow discussions based on AI-generated content.

Thread will remain closed.

Not this topic, no. See previous post.
