Simulating the Human in HCD with ChatGPT: Redesigning Interaction Design with AI

Authors: Albrecht Schmidt, Passant Elagroudy, Fiona Draxler, Frauke Kreuter, Robin Welsch

Primary Findings

  • LLMs can support HCD in multiple ways, including stakeholder identification, persona creation, and prototype generation

  • AI can enhance efficiency and scalability in HCD processes

  • Transparency about AI usage in HCD is crucial

  • AI should complement rather than fully replace human involvement in HCD

Using Large Language Models to Simulate Multiple Humans and Replicate Human Subject Studies

Authors: Gati Aher, Rosa I. Arriaga, Adam Tauman Kalai

Primary Findings

  • LLMs can replicate some human behavioral patterns in experimental settings

  • Larger models generally produced more human-like responses

  • Gender differences were observed in LLM-generated responses

  • A "hyper-accuracy distortion" was found in newer, more aligned LLMs for general knowledge questions
