A starting point for discussion
The idea
The human-mediator tasks and the tasks where participants saw other people’s opinions left out the critique stage; the human-mediator task instead used four rounds and had outside raters assess transcript quality.
Place in the reasoning
AI assessment · Connected to reasoning
This describes differences among particular human-mediator and opinion-exposure procedures, including omission of the critique stage.
Faster discussion and positive ratings do not prove a tool is ready for public decisions
Differences between task procedures qualify comparisons across conditions and help define the scope of the reported evidence.
What this means and why it matters
What this means
The critique phase was excluded in two kinds of task: human mediation and tasks where participants saw other people’s opinions. In the human-mediator task, participants completed four rounds, and third-party raters judged the transcripts.
Why it matters
Because the procedures differed, results from these tasks would need to be interpreted in light of those differences; no such results appear here.
