The part of me that used to work for a survey research nonprofit is screaming into a pillow
@hannah qualtrics floated this (and maybe went through with it idk) right after chatgpt first went live
What hilarious is that this agentic things is plausibly *worse* since you're having simulations fill out the survey instead instead of using an llm to generate a bazillion responses. The responses will still be just as bad, but at a huge markup of energy costs
