Large language models have the potential to level the playing field in consumer financial complaints
Nature Human Behaviour, Published online: 04 March 2026; doi:10.1038/s41562-026-02411-wBy analysing 1.13 million complaint narratives submitted to the US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), we show that large language model (LLM)-assisted complaints surged after the release of ChatGPT and increased the chances of consumers of receiving relief. Furthermore, consumers with unobserved disadvantages in self-advocacy were found to be more likely to adopt LLMs, which highlights a potential for LLM tools to act as an equalizer.

כתבה מצוינת של מירב ארלוזורוב על ועדות חקירה, והצורך בהן. שמחתי לתרום לכתבה את המשפט הבא: "אני רוצה לחיות במדינה שכשקורה בה משהו רע, היא לא עושה חשבון ומבררת אותו עד תום. זה מחזק את האמון בשיטה". www.themarker.com/weekend/2025...
ועדות חקירה לא מדיחות ראשי ממשלה, אז למה נתניהו מפחד מהן?
