The reliability of online surveys is being called into question following the development of an AI capable of generating responses that mimic human participants. According to a researcher who first shared the findings on Reddit, this technology could severely compromise data integrity by skewing results and rendering research findings untrustworthy. The AI’s ability to convincingly answer surveys raises concerns that researchers can no longer confidently distinguish between genuine human responses and those fabricated by artificial intelligence. This advancement threatens the validity of countless studies that rely on online surveys for data collection.
