Emulate or Estimate? The Divergent Strengths of Base and Post-Trained Language Models for Opinion Simulation

arXiv:2608. 03044v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models are increasingly used to simulate human opinions, but prior work reports conflicting results: some studies find promising alignment with human survey data, while others find persona collapse and weak demographic sensitivity.

Towards Detecting AI-Assisted Responses in Online Surveys

The paper introduces ASURRE, a benchmark dataset for detecting AI‑assisted responses in online surveys. It evaluates how different LLM usage strategies—ranging from full generation to persona‑grounded agentic completion—affect the performance of existing machine‑generated text detectors. The study finds that while naive AI usage is easily detected, more sophisticated persona‑grounded agents approach chance performance, yet still leave identifiable behavioural traces that can be aggregated to improve detection.
