Using LLM Personas to Replace Field Experiments for Method Evaluation

This research explores a novel approach to evaluating methods by using LLM personas in place of traditional field experiments, potentially streamlining and accelerating the benchmarking process. The use of LLMs for this purpose raises interesting questions about the validity and limitations of simulated experimentation versus real-world testing.

• •Proposes a new methodology for method evaluation using LLMs.
• •Potentially accelerates and simplifies the benchmarking process.
• •Raises questions about the reliability of LLM-based simulations.
