I was ecstatic to publish my first paper in @CognitionJourn. This paper is now preceded by an *inaccurate* AI-generated Q&A. @ElsevierConnect, stop this. You know LLMs hallucinate. You know we spend years crafting our papers to be maximally accurate. This is an insult.

Is it okay to eat meat? End a pregnancy? Spend your money on luxury goods? @Keremoktar et al. find that people's answers change with a course on moral philosophy, though not because they rely more on deliberation but because they rely less on intuition. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
