The part of me that used to work for a survey research nonprofit is screaming into a pillow

@hannah Perhaps I'm just missing something obvious here, but...isn't the whole point of conducting surveys to gather data from people? If the only entities being surveyed are A.I. agents that mimic human speech and which could be programmed to say anything, how is it meaningful?

It seems as meaningful to me as "Our survey data says 95% of people approve our product. We surveyed 1000 people whom we paid $100 each to say positive things about us."

@Intaglio_Dragon @hannah I wanna hang out with the people who took the hundred dollars and were still like "fuck you, your product sucks"
