Table 2.

Within-participant comparisons for advice evaluations (study 2). Table 2 presents the mean evaluations for human (vs. AI) generated advice in study 2. The columns represent the mean evaluations for ChatGPT and human-generated advice (“M”) and their corresponding standard deviations (“SD”). The right-hand side shaded portion of the table presents the results of within-participant t-tests with the mean difference between the variables, with associated t-statistic, p-value, 95% confidence interval (“Lower CI” and “Upper CI”), and Cohen’s d effect sizes.
