The idea that you can take an LLM — trained on an undisclosed dataset of all kinds of text, and tweaked by human feedback for various messy goals — and then use *its* responses for social science “research” rather than using real people, is beyond stupid.
Yes, it would be great to have your career possibilities determined by some fuckwit who told an LLM to pretend to be like you — according to the stereotypes it had been trained on — and then found that the LLM did poorly at a task you might otherwise be hired to do.

@gregeganSF You shouldn't be applying to a place which uses fuckwit practices anyway. The problem is self-solving.
