Imagine if we could have robots as participants in psychological experiments. Well, that might not be too far off with the rise of AI language models like GPT! Recent research shows that these models can make judgments just as convincingly as humans. In fact, scientists are now exploring whether they can replace human participants in psychological science altogether. They’ve even created a theoretical model to understand how and when AI language models could be used in experiments. Of course, there are some caveats to using AI as participants, and it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. But this emerging field certainly has its potential! Who knows, maybe someday we’ll see robotic participants taking part in psychology studies alongside humans! If you’re curious to learn more about this exciting research, check out the full article!
Recent work suggests that language models such as GPT can make human-like judgments across a number of domains. We explore whether and when language models might replace human participants in psychological science. We review nascent research, provide a theoretical model, and outline caveats of using AI as a participant.
