LLMs simulate survey respondents, offering new social science research tools

Researchers have developed a new benchmark called LLM-S^3 to evaluate how well large language models can simulate human respondents in surveys. The benchmark includes 11 real-world datasets across various sociological domains. Experiments using GPT-3.5/4 Turbo and LLaMA 3.0/3.1-8B showed consistent performance trends and highlighted how prompt design impacts simulation accuracy. AI
