Researchers paid 1,052 people $ 60 to read the first two lines of The Great Gatsby to an app that asked them to tell the story of their lives.

The scientists took those interviews and crafted them into an AI they say replicates the participants’ behavior with 85% accuracy.

They say creating AI agents based on random people could help policymakers and business people better understand the public.

AI clones of the humans didn't replicate their real-world counterparts as well.

Given time and energy, they can probably bring the two closer together.

Weâve already seen stupider LLMs trained on public recordings tricking grandmothers into giving away bank information to an AI relative after a quick phone call.
