People often make decisions through "satisficing," gathering just enough information to make a satisfactory prediction of a likely outcome. A series of experimental games shows that people also employ satisficing to learn social rules and conventions. This finding offers new insight into social learning and reveals a key difference between how humans and LLMs make predictions. The premise of AI large language models is that any problem can be solved by vacuuming up as much information as possible, running it through probability models, and performing complex calculations to make predictions and come up with the optimal solution. Another premise behind LLMs is that they emulate the way human brains operate.
