Chief football writer at Stamford BridgePublished4 May 2025Cole Palmer's talent is worthy of the highest Champions League stage so it was fitting he was back to his brilliant best to push Chelsea closer to a return to Europe's elite tournament The stunning form that inspired the Blues early in the season making them title dark horses at one point deserted him as he went 18 games in all competitions without a goal leaving them with a fight on their hands to reach the top five But when Chelsea and head coach Enzo Maresca needed him Palmer was the inspiration behind their 3-1 win against newly crowned Premier League champions Liverpool at Stamford Bridge carried an air of lethargy following the emotional high of securing their 20th title in front of an ecstatic Anfield last weekend but Chelsea still needed to take advantage and their lavishly gifted 22-year-old was the catalyst a hive of industry and creation that illustrated exactly why he is central to all of his side's hopes for success His dip in form has become a widespread topic of conversation but he insists his own feelings and attitude have never changed – along with his refusal to study any social media opinions with a run through the centre before sending a sweeping pass out to Pedro Neto to set up Enzo Fernandez's third-minute opener Palmer then produced a brilliant run to beat Kostas Tsimikas in the 56th minute his low cross a source of such chaos in Liverpool's defence that captain Virgil van Dijk lashed his a clearance against team-mate Jarell Quansah and into his own net He was unfortunate not to end his goal drought earlier than he did when another superb incursion into the area ended with a shot from a tight angle that beat Liverpool keeper Alisson but hit the post Palmer's dry spell ended with almost the last kick of the game a penalty in the sixth minute of added time and dispatched with confidence to end that worrying sequence stretching back to a 2-2 draw at home to Bournemouth on 14 January The wait for a goal was over after 1,162 minutes Chelsea beat champions Liverpool to bolster top-five hopes Chelsea win 'important' in Champions League race - but who will prevail How 'absolutely outstanding' Palmer 'destroyed' Liverpool These were Palmer's big moments but he had an overall impact on a game that was so crucial to Chelsea who are now only behind fourth-placed Newcastle United on goals scored – 62 against 66 – with the same goal difference of plus-21 It perfectly sets up their visit to Tyneside on Sunday This was a complete performance from Palmer made the joint-most passes ending in the final third (13) and had the joint-most touches in the opposition box (eight) of any Chelsea player His worth is further underlined by the fact that he now has 37 goals in 67 league games for Chelsea - putting him 10th on the club's all-time league top scorers list "I just felt normal," said Palmer I went three months without scoring but it just gives me more fight and motivation to do more for myself and for the team it feels like you're letting your team down I feel pride in helping the team and if I'm not doing that "Social media nowadays is full of idiots but it's only one and I've got to keep improving and try to reach new levels." Head coach Maresca never doubted his key man as he added: "We see him day to day on the training ground and he is always the same "He is unhappy when he is not scoring because he is someone who only wants to help the team and the club." who was brought down by Quansah for Chelsea's late penalty joined the chorus of praise as he said: "He deserves it He helps us a lot even when he didn't score He's a great guy and deserves everything." The scale of the celebrations at Stamford Bridge among fans and players showed how much this victory meant Goalkeeper Robert Sanchez ran the length of the pitch to join in the scenes of elation as the forward disappeared under a collection of blue shirts If this does prove to be the day when Palmer finally rediscovered his golden touch it came with perfect timing for the Londoners A place in the Champions League will make life a lot easier for Maresca and everyone at Chelsea as they contemplate defining fixtures against those fighting with them for those precious places to end their season they will visit Nottingham Forest - currently three points behind in sixth place - on 25 May These days will shape Chelsea's destiny for next season And with Palmer in the sort of form that tormented Liverpool his side will feel they are approaching the final fences in good shape Get Chelsea news sent straight to your phone Top storiesLive Alexander-Arnold to leave Liverpool & 'expected to join' Real Madrid - reaction and updates Alexander-Arnold to leave Liverpool at end of season Watch World Snooker Championship final: Wiliams pulls one back against Zhao The final series of Man Like Mobeen has arrived John Simm stars in the provocative 90s drama Warm-hearted comedy with Ben Miller and Sally Phillips Follow two ambitious river restoration projects Palmer's brilliance could be key moment in Chelsea's Champions League quest Europa League 'papering over cracks' for Man Utd - Rooney VideoEuropa League 'papering over cracks' for Man Utd - Rooney Ask Me Anything the new BBC Sport service designed to serve you Bayern's 'James Bond' - how Kane clinched his first trophy Nine bolters with a shot of making the Lions squad VideoHow 'absolutely outstanding' Palmer 'destroyed' Liverpool Still number one & 'sparring' with Draper - return of Sinner Saints 'punch' favourites Leinster in game for the ages How Bournemouth turned tables on set-piece specialists Arsenal VideoHow Bournemouth turned tables on set-piece specialists Arsenal Vardy the best £1m ever spent - Shearer VideoVardy the best £1m ever spent - Shearer 'Pretty special' - Leeds and Burnley's fight for Championship title Match-fixing scandal to Crucible final - fall and rise of Zhao Elton John & Happy Gilmore - McIlroy on Jimmy Fallon show 'Painful but we'll be back' - Luton's rise and fall 'Balls all over the Crucible floor' as pocket breaks during semi-final Video'Balls all over the Crucible floor' as pocket breaks during semi-final Two opposing views on football's transgender ban Varsho makes 'crazy' behind-the-back catch VideoVarsho makes 'crazy' behind-the-back catch Chelsea aided their hopes of Champions League qualification with an excellent win over the champions This game was very important. Liverpool forced us to defend deep, something that we don’t like to do. But they are so good. We planned the game, trying to be aggressive. But they forced us into a different plan and we adapted quite well. I am very impressed with my players. It is not easy to play man-to-man. If we finish top five, everyone is thinking they are doing well, but I am impressed with them [regardless]. For sure, Chelsea has to fight for Champions League.

Ferrari radio exchanges The Miami Grand Prix was an action-packed weekend from start to finish – and in case you missed any of it we’ve rounded up all of the key moments from F1’s visit to the Miami International Autodrome From a new parent and a first-time polesitter through to a chaotic Sprint and a McLaren team in a class of their own – not to mention plenty of celebrities and some life-size LEGO cars – check out the highlights from Miami in our ultimate lowdown… READ MORE: Piastri wins from Norris and Russell as McLaren seal commanding 1-2 in Miami Grand Prix Despite arriving into the weekend as the favourites – given that Oscar Piastri became the new championship leader with his win last time out in Saudi Arabia – McLaren did not have things all their own way as the action began in Miami Mercedes’ Kimi Antonelli (more on whom later) beat both papaya cars to pole in Friday’s Sprint Qualifying while Max Verstappen also triumphed ahead of the team when it was time to qualify again on Saturday those blips did not hinder McLaren’s performance in race trim Piastri quickly snatched the lead from Antonelli at Turn 1 and looked on course for victory until a frenetic sequence later on saw Lando Norris take the lead when Piastri pitted for slick tyres – just as a Safety Car was deployed meaning that the Briton could make his stop and maintain P1 While the order was perhaps not the one that Piastri had expected to finish in it was a strong day for McLaren nonetheless despite Norris having to start second behind Verstappen while Piasti lined up down in fourth HIGHLIGHTS: Piastri leads McLaren 1-2 after thrilling race in Miami With Verstappen initially holding the lead – while Norris slipped down the order after going wide during an early battle with the Dutchman allowing Antonelli and Piastri to move ahead of him – Verstappen soon found himself under pressure from Piastri leading to the Australian eventually overtaking before Norris then followed suit From then on the McLarens looked to be on another planet with Piastri leading home Norris in a 1-2 formation that saw the championship leader cross the line a staggering 37 seconds clear of third-placed George Russell There was no doubt that this was a commanding performance from the reigning Teams’ Champions Before the track action had even started in Miami Verstappen was already having an eventful start to race week It was confirmed ahead of Thursday’s media day that the Dutchman would be absent due to expecting a baby with partner Kelly Piquet Verstappen arrived in Miami ahead of Friday's track action after welcoming a daughter After much talk in the paddock over whether becoming a father may slow him down – with the verdict generally being that it would not – it was subsequently confirmed that Verstappen and Piquet had welcomed a baby girl named Lily The new dad then arrived at the Miami International Autodrome on Friday where he went straight into action for a busy Sprint weekend ahead Saturday proved to be especially dramatic for the World Champion having firstly picked up a 10-second time penalty in the Sprint for an unsafe release in the pits a punishment that dropped him out of the points READ MORE: ‘You’ve got to get involved in the nappies’ – Horner offers advice to new dad Verstappen as he predicts how fatherhood will affect him But just hours later he made up for this disappointment by putting in a stunning performance in Qualifying After taking provisional pole during the first runs of Q3 Verstappen’s chances of maintaining it looked to be in jeopardy thanks to a wobble on his final effort – but impressively he still turned this into the fastest lap of all Verstappen faced further turmoil in the Grand Prix having initially held the lead after that aforementioned scrap with Norris before eventually losing out to both Piastri and Norris later on After missing out on third to George Russell thanks to the Mercedes man pitting during a

thrilling battles with the McLarens Having taken P8 and P12 respectively in a disappointing Qualifying on Saturday Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton both looked keen to make gains during Sunday’s Miami Grand Prix While Leclerc generally found himself running close to the position he had started in Hamilton had climbed his way up the order as the race progressed meaning that the pair eventually ended up running together in seventh and eighth READ MORE: 'It was frustrating' – Hamilton opens up on tense Miami radio messages during Ferrari strategy debate Hamilton went on to suggest that he should be allowed to move ahead of Leclerc with the seven-time World Champion running the medium tyres – in contrast to the hards on his team mate’s SF-25 – which could potentially help him to close the gap to Antonelli ahead With Ferrari taking some time to make a decision on the matter Hamilton appeared increasingly frustrated as he commented that keeping him behind was “not good teamwork” He also sarcastically told the team to “have a tea break while you are at it” as they mulled over the issue Eventually Hamilton was allowed through – but who awaited the move – but Hamilton had not been told meaning that there was a delay in it being enacted The Briton moved aside after being informed but the messy handling of the situation led to Leclerc stating: “We’ll discuss after the race.” 2025 Miami Grand Prix: Tense radio exchanges as Hamilton and Leclerc argue over Ferrari strategy The paddock may not have been in Las Vegas this weekend but Norris rolled the dice and came out on top denying his team mate Piastri victory of a Sprint he had led from the very first lap after a masterful pass on polesitter Antonelli Dramatic changes in the weather are known to be the great disruptor in F1 the formation lap behind the Safety Car saw drivers hindered by the vast amounts of spray being thrown up by standing water on the circuit READ MORE: Norris wins chaotic Miami Sprint from Piastri and Hamilton after late Safety Car and multiple incidents The chaos didn’t stop at lights out either when the conditions were still suboptimal but safe enough to race in With Antonelli starting from pole for the first time Piastri sailed past him at the first corner and sent the Mercedes wide resulting in the rookie dropping back to P4 But while the damp track aided Piastri to start with allowing Norris to close the gap down drastically before the Australian peeled off into the pits for slick tyres with five laps remaining and it was whilst he was switching tyres that the Safety Car was called due to a collision between Fernando Alonso and Liam Lawson that had left the former stationary on the track The slowed-down cars therefore meant that the Briton could calmly adopt the lead there wasn’t nearly enough time to clear the Aston Martin so the Sprint ended behind the Safety Car and Norris claimed the win echoing his maiden victory at this circuit in 2024 A smart early move to get rid of the intermediate tyres saw Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton claim the final podium spot but it took some time for the full order to be set in stone as a trio of penalties relegated Alex Albon Liam Lawson and Ollie Bearman from the top eight The spotlight had been on Antonelli firmly throughout his junior career ever since Mercedes recruited him to join their ranks back in 2018 when he was just 12 years old – and that attention increased once again as he made his mark on the streets of Miami With Russell labelling Mercedes as the season’s third-fastest team not many people would have expected them to start from pole position for the Sprint especially not at the hands of their teenage driver But that’s exactly what happened as Antonelli beat both McLarens READ MORE: Antonelli gives verdict on first corner move from Piastri as he reflects on Verstappen pit lane incident during tough Miami Sprint A combination of inexperience on the front row in F1 and simple misfortune saw him drop out of the points in the Sprint itself – whilst heading to his pit box who had been released unsafely and forced him into taking evasive action But the post-Sprint penalties promoted him back into the points and the later Qualifying hour demonstrated that his bad luck had not dissuaded him With the battle for pole wide open once again Antonelli found himself just 0.067s adrift of Verstappen’s session-topping time and 0.002s behind Norris setting him up for P3 on the Grand Prix grid He was ultimately unable to retain the position as Piastri Verstappen and the unexpectedly quick Alex Albon got the better of him on track but he finished the weekend with a satisfying P6 Antonelli put in an eye-catching performance in Miami There was a race with a difference ahead of the Miami

LOUIS -- Even after making one of those hustling, hurtling, classic Nolan Arenado plays -- one where he wound up in the laps of a slightly startled family somewhat tangled in the netting and with Juan Soto’s foul pop securely in his glove -- the superstar third baseman had a somewhat stunning declaration to make "That was one of the best plays I’ve ever seen,” said Arenado the owner of 10 Gold Gloves and six Platinum Gloves Humble as ever, Arenado, of course, wasn’t talking about the headlong play he made in the eighth inning of the Cardinals' 5-4 defeat of the Mets -- a win that guaranteed them their second doubleheader sweep in a five-day stretch Instead, Arenado was referring to 5-foot-11 center fielder Victor Scott II leaping as high as he could and reaching up over the wall to rob Soto of a home run in the fourth inning of a game that was highlighted by the Cards' stellar defense "It was awesome, and I told [Scott] that was one of the best plays I’ve ever seen,” Arenado raved. “I played with Adam Jones in the WBC, and he made a play like that Those are the two best plays I’ve ever seen made in center field.” The Cardinals came into Sunday easily the MLB leader in outs above average with 21, well ahead of the Astros (14) They strengthened their standing with the gems provided by Scott who made a sliding catch in the gap to end a fourth-inning threat Scott didn’t hesitate when asked where the home run robbery of Soto ranked on his list of stellar plays “There’s no other feeling [to compare] than to that The defense, combined with Alec Burleson’s two-run home run and Michael McGreevy’s 5 2/3 innings of scoreless relief, allowed the Cardinals to cap Sunday with two wins over the surging Mets. They stopped a nine-game skid to New York with a gritty 6-5 win in Game 1 and then came from behind to take the nightcap In the storied history of the rivalry between the Cardinals and Mets And the last time the Cardinals swept the Mets in St Louis had been slightly more than 50 years ago (July 5 "I don’t care who the team is because it’s really hard to sweep doubleheaders,” said Burleson whose two-run blast in the second inning was his long-awaited first homer of the season especially with a team like that over there We played a really good defense today and that was a part of it We pitched really well with McGreevy coming in and we swung the bats enough to win two games.” Sign up to receive our daily Morning Lineup to stay in the know about the latest trending topics around Major League

from me and Pallante’s [school] and you see Arenado’s number retired and you think about how cool it is that a guy like that grew up close to me,” McGreevy raved sharing a field and cracking jokes with him.” Arenado was horrified when he scared a small girl with his diving catch tumbling into the stands but I probably frightened her with that whole situation,” he said Thank God for that and I was able to make the play.” CLEVELAND — The first pressure point of the postseason is here for the Cleveland Cavaliers It arrived perhaps sooner than anticipated but there’s no time to worry about that now If the Cavs were trying to sit Darius Garland until they lost in an effort to give his painful toe injury more time to heal The Cavs are in a 1-0 series hole they didn’t see coming after losing Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals 121-112 to the Indiana Pacers The Cavs sure could use Garland back on the floor for Game 2 The Pacers have played fast all season and this was no different The 99.5 pace rating in Game 1 was higher than all but one of their games in the first-round series victory against the Milwaukee Bucks and faster than any game the Cavs played against the Miami Heat in their first-round series But let’s not pretend like the Cavs aren’t accustomed to playing this way They played 47 games during the regular season at an even faster pace and went 40-7 For all of the wonderful things that Ty Jerome has been this season Though he finished with 21 points and eight assists against the Pacers he shot 8 of 20 and his lack of foot speed was exposed at times On a night the Cavs scored 70 points in the paint — and lost — Jerome hoisted the second-most shot attempts behind Donovan Mitchell the bulk of those shots have to go to Evan Mobley when Garland is absent Mobley scored 20 points and grabbed 10 rebounds I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a team score 70 points in the paint and lose the game which is a testament to the times we’re living in and the league’s reliance on the 3-point shot The Pacers shot it incredibly well from deep in Game 1 and the Cavs did not this is the healthiest season he has enjoyed as a pro He played in a career-high 75 games this year we may not see Garland for another couple of weeks The Pacers have the advantage now in this series and the defending champion Boston Celtics loom after them should they advance “I know he’s desperate to play,” Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson said after the loss The trickle-down effect from no Garland includes Mitchell recording his second-highest usage rate of the season Jerome had only a handful of games with a higher usage rate and Isaac Okoro played key fourth-quarter minutes because of no Garland Merrill started in place of Garland against Miami and did just fine but the Pacers play at a different level than the Heat Indiana regularly picked up the Cavs’ guards full court defensively While panic will certainly ensue in the streets after losing home-court advantage the odds of Mitchell shooting 1-for-11 from 3 again or the Cavs shooting 24 percent from 3 for another game the Pacers shot better from 3 in Game 1 (53 percent) than they did in all but three games during the regular season Give credit to the Pacers for coming into a loud hostile environment and emphatically imposing their will on the Cavs Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith were terrific from 3 in part because the Cavs did a lousy job of guarding the 3-point line But Nembhard and Nesmith also made their share of difficult The Cavs didn’t create the same number of quality looks they’re accustomed to seeing instead reverting to a lot of isolation dribbling and contested jumpers rather than the drive/kick/swing offense that punished opponents all season long A lot of it can be traced back to Garland’s absence especially being able to stop and start (on the toe),” Atkinson said “But we don’t want him out there (at) 60 percent Jason Lloyd is a senior columnist for The Athletic, focusing on

country’s prime minister and transitional presidential council to resign A soldier carries out an anti-gang operation in the Kenscoff neighborhood of Port-au-Prince Haiti (AP) — Dozens of protesters marched up the hills of Haiti’s capital on Sunday demanding an end to persistent gang violence as they called on the country’s prime minister and transitional presidential council to resign “The only thing the Haitian people are asking for is security,” said Eric Jean a 42-year-old bus driver with a large Haitian flag tied around his neck who blamed gangs for raiding his small business and leaving him homeless makeshift camp like tens of thousands of others forced to flee their homes after gangs razed their communities “Haiti cannot be run among friends,” he said “The city is dying because the (council) is not doing anything to make it better.” “Freedom or death!” the mourners shouted on Saturday as the leaders of the Canapé-Vert neighborhood entered a small stadium where the memorial was held Videos posted on social media showed the leaders carrying automatic weapons and wearing black T-shirts emblazoned with pictures of those killed Many wore balaclavas to cover their faces and protect themselves from possible retaliation by gangs the mourners raised their fists and clutched hands in the air as a man on stage roared in Haitian Creole “The blood is not going to be shed in vain “Just beginning!” the crowd answered in unison The unidentified man on stage said the community would never forget the slain leaders as he condemned gang violence and they don’t even know why they’re dying,” he said Canapé-Vert is one of the few neighborhoods that has yet to fall to gangs that control at least 85% of the capital It also is known for having one of Port-au-Prince’s most powerful neighborhood organizations Sunday’s demonstration and other recent protests have decried the country’s spiraling crisis with more than 1,600 people killed and another 580 injured from January to March hundreds of people armed with sticks and machetes accompanied by members of an armed environmental brigade successfully ousted more than 100 suspected gang members that had seized control of a Catholic school according to a new report issued by the U.N But the ouster is only one of a handful of successful fights against powerful gangs backed by certain politicians and some of Haiti’s elite more than 5,600 people across Haiti were killed gunmen “indiscriminately fired on the population in the neighborhood killing 21 men and injuring eight others,” according to the U.N In a separate attack on a nearby neighborhood where the French embassy is located many of whom were traveling in small colorful buses known as tap taps Other victims include at least 15 people who were family members of police officers “The indiscriminate and brutal nature of some of these attacks shows the gang’s strategy to spread panic and reduce the resistance of the local population,” according to the

one of the US’s biggest airports amid aviation safety fears As of Sunday morning, there were 210 delays and 88 cancellations at Newark Liberty international airport (EWR) in New Jersey, according to FlightAware The large airport is one of the major hubs for New York city and its surrounding area The weekend slowdown in operations came after United Airlines announced on Friday that it was cancelling 35 daily roundtrip flights from Newark due to poor technology and staffing issues surrounding the Federal Aviation Administration In a statement on Friday United has been very clear and vocal about the need to fix the Air Traffic Control system in EWR While we enthusiastically support the efforts underway to permanently and structurally fix the FAA the long-simmering FAA challenges boiled over this week.” technology that FAA air traffic controllers rely on to manage the airplanes coming in and out of Newark airport failed – resulting in dozens of diverted flights hundreds of delayed and canceled flights and worst of all thousands of customers with disrupted travel plans,” he said Kirby went on to say that technology issues at the airport were compounded after more than 20% of the FAA controllers for EWR reportedly walked off the job this particular air traffic control facility has been chronically understaffed for years and without these controllers it’s now clear – and the FAA tells us – that Newark airport cannot handle the number of planes that are scheduled to operate there in the weeks and months ahead,” he added Explaining the cuts which come at an “already reduced schedule at Newark” Kirby said the airline had no choice but to cancel the flights as there is “no way to resolve the near-term structural FAA staffing issues” He also said that United Airlines has been urging the government for years to limit the number of flights “to what the airport can realistically handle” Meanwhile, speaking to MSNBC correspondent Tom Costello, an air traffic controller said that it is not safe to fly out of Newark. “He said: ‘It is not safe. It is not a safe situation right now for the flying public,’” Costello told the Daily Beast transportation secretary Sean Duffy is urging more people to become air traffic controllers Duffy said at a press conference that the transportation department is seeking to increase employment at the FAA aiming to hire at least 2,000 controllers this year Free newsletterGet the most important US headlines and highlights emailed direct to you every morning “We’re hoping in three to four years we can get to full staffing, not 20 years,” Duffy said We can’t snap our fingers to make up the numbers.” The transportation department is offering a slew of incentives including a 30% salary increase for new hires as well as a $5,000 bonus upon completion of the flight academy The department is also offering a $10,000 award for academy graduates who are assigned to one of 13 hard-to-staff air traffic facilities Following a string of deadly flight accidents, a February poll revealed that Americans’ confidence in aviation has slipped, with 64% of Americans said they believe air travel is very or somewhat safe – a decrease from 71% of Americans who indicated so last year.

He then posted the digitally doctored image of himself wearing a white cassock and papal headdress, with his forefinger raised, to social media accounts, including the official X account for the White House. "I guess I find it to be an unfortunate thing," said Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey S Grob in an interview with the Journal Sentinel May 4 at the Cathedral of St "In my own understanding just of what it means to be a Christian and a person of good will is to be respectful of other people's circumstances," Grob said is in a period of mourning over the death of Pope Francis We've lost great respect for moments like this When asked by reporters May 4 about the image Dolan replied that he hoped Trump "didn't have anything to do with that." "Well, you know, it wasn't good," added Dolan, who has been floated by Trump as a candidate to be the next pontiff Grob hopes for a "true leader" that can guide the church amid the problems of the world "You don't have to be a rocket scientist to look at the vast needs of so many parts of the our world at war Grob said he's not expecting an apology from Trump for the image we are praying for the conclave and we have to pray for (Trump) too Irrational tendencies — including the hot hand base-rate neglect and sunk cost fallacy — commonly show up in AI systems calling into question how useful they actually are new research has revealed that AIs sometimes make decisions as irrationally as we do In almost half of the scenarios examined in a new study, ChatGPT exhibited many of the most common human decision-making biases. Published April 8. in the journal Manufacturing & Service Operations Management the findings are the first to evaluate ChatGPT's behavior across 18 well-known cognitive biases found in human psychology from five academic institutions across Canada and Australia tested OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 — the two large language models (LLMs) powering ChatGPT — and discovered that despite being "impressively consistent" in their reasoning they're far from immune to human-like flaws such consistency itself has both positive and negative effects "But if you’re using them for subjective or preference-driven decisions The study took commonly known human biases overconfidence and the endowment effect (where we assign more value to things we own) and applied them to prompts given to ChatGPT to see if it would fall into the same traps as humans The scientists asked the LLMs hypothetical questions taken from traditional psychology and in the context of real-world commercial applicability in areas like inventory management or supplier negotiations The aim was to see not just whether AI would mimic human biases but whether it would still do so when asked questions from different business domains Get the world’s most fascinating discoveries delivered straight to your inbox GPT-4 outperformed GPT-3.5 when answering problems with clear mathematical solutions showing fewer mistakes in probability and logic-based scenarios such as whether to choose a risky option to realize a gain the chatbot often mirrored the irrational preferences humans tend to show "GPT-4 shows a stronger preference for certainty than even humans do," the researchers wrote in the paper referring to the tendency for AI to tend towards safer and more predictable outcomes when given ambiguous tasks the chatbots' behaviors remained mostly stable whether the questions were framed as abstract psychological problems or operational business processes The study concluded that the biases shown weren't just a product of memorized examples — but part of how AI reasons One of the surprising outcomes of the study was the way GPT-4 sometimes amplified human-like errors GPT-4 always gave biased responses," the authors wrote in the study It also showed a more pronounced tendency for the hot-hand fallacy (the bias to expect patterns in randomness) than GPT 3.5 ChatGPT did manage to avoid some common human biases including base-rate neglect (where we ignore statistical facts in favor of anecdotal or case-specific information) and the sunk-cost fallacy (where decision making is influenced by a cost that has already been sustained allowing irrelevant information to cloud judgment) —AGI could now arrive as early as 2026 — but not all scientists agree ChatGPT’s human-like biases come from training data that contains the cognitive biases and heuristics humans exhibit Those tendencies are reinforced during fine-tuning especially when human feedback further favors plausible responses over rational ones When they come up against more ambiguous tasks AI skews towards human reasoning patterns more so than direct logic use GPT in areas where you'd already trust a calculator," Chen said When the outcome depends more on subjective or strategic inputs even if it's adjusting the user prompts to correct known biases "AI should be treated like an employee who makes important decisions — it needs oversight and ethical guidelines," co-author Meena Andiappan an associate professor of human resources and management at McMaster University we risk automating flawed thinking instead of improving it."
