This paper asks whether LLM-written arguments change how humans, and LLMs, rate an answer's plausibility. ## Co-authors here 2 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Rachel Rudinger](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/rachel-rudinger/) ×2 - [Sarah Wiegreffe](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/sarah-wiegreffe/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/): [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2023](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2023/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 52 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [24 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shramay-palta/cited-by/).
