The AI Backlash: Why People Punish Those Who Use Artificial Intelligence
New research reveals a surprising willingness to penalize individuals for interacting with large language models, suggesting complex social dynamics are emerging around AI adoption.
![The training process demonstrates a predictable pattern: initial loss fluctuations gradually converge, mirroring the ascent of average episodic reward-a testament to the algorithm’s capacity to learn and optimize performance over iterative refinement, as reflected in the diminishing [latex] L [/latex] and increasing [latex] R [/latex] values across epochs.](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.10044v1/dvrp_rl_eval_reward.png)




![NSR-Boost establishes a framework for enhancing performance through a novel boosting mechanism, fundamentally altering the decision boundary via weighted samples to achieve improved generalization capabilities, as demonstrated by its iterative refinement process detailed in [latex] \mathcal{L} = \sum_{i=1}^{N} L(y_i, f(x_i)) [/latex].](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.10457v1/x1.png)
