A new study shows that GPT-4 reliably wins debates against its human counterparts in one-on-one conversations—and the technology gets even more persuasive when it knows your age, job, and political leanings. Researchers at EPFL in Switzerland, Princeton University, and the Fondazione Bruno Kessler in Italy paired 900 study participants with either a human debate partner or OpenAI’s GPT-4, a large language model (LLM) that, by design, produces mostly text responses to human prompts.

Although the Apple I appeared in 1976, and then in 1977 the Apple II, Commodore PET and TRS-80 all appeared, there was one personal computer that preceded them all: The MITS Altair 8800 from 1975, considered the first commercially successful personal computer.
