The study was conducted by Stanford’s HAI institute, which receives heavy funding from Google (how much I couldn’t find because they don‘t publish their donations in a place I could find it; but I suspect it is alot). And the authors did not declare a non-conflict of interest at the end of the paper.
Do papers need a "non-conflict of interest" disclosure nowadays to not be considered just ads?
The HAI is also funded with money from OpenAI, Antropic, and other big tech corporations. I don't know what you are trying to prove.
Wait, where are you seeing the link to HAI? TFA mentions something called "liftlab" which seems to be something under Stanford Law School and separate from HAI. The study has more than a dozen authors from as many different universities but HAI is not mentioned.
