| Abstract: | The article discusses the ongoing integration of large language models (LLMs) in psychology, highlighting both their current applications and the potential pitfalls associated with their use. While LLMs are reshaping research practices by assisting in tasks such as data collection and analysis, the author argues that the field must address issues like analytic flexibility and the reliability of findings derived from LLMs. The article emphasizes the need for a more critical approach to using LLMs in psychological research, advocating for transparent methodologies and rigorous testing to avoid repeating past mistakes in the discipline. Ultimately, it calls for an "AI revolution" in psychology that prioritizes robust scientific standards. [Extracted from the article] |
