The textual basis of current LLMs causes trouble, but linguistically relevant insights *can* be found in systems modelling the more natural form of human spoken language: the speech signal itself. arxiv.org/abs/2512.14506

5 years ago today, Pandemic Year. It had been a month since I opened my "side project" (lol) cat rescue in the spare room of my flat in London.
I saw an ad for a male kitten with "balance & walking problems" who urgently needed a home. And so it began. HAPPY SMOL PAUL DAY!

LLMs can be useful for some things, but simulating human research participant responses isn’t one of them
![However, recent work demonstrates that demographically prompted LLMs cannot accurately simulate diverse identities. Prompted LLMs are more likely to represent majority groups' stereotypes about minority groups than minority groups' own standpoints [12,13]. For instance, one study [13] prompted LLMs with the identity of Black woman. GPT-4 started generations with phrases such as 'Hey girl' and
'Oh, honey'; Llama-2 started nearly every response with 'Oh, girl', and used phrases including I'm like, YAASSSSS' and 'That's cray, hunty!' In addition, demographic prompting flattens diverse identities into narrow categories, limiting researchers' ability to observe and understand diversity within those categories [13,55]. Demographic prompting misrepresents people who are chronically under-represented in cognitive science research, a form of representational harm [56].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ho22o3jwfn4k7diklsrfnazt/bafkreifiqpzt5r2qjkewoxwxyutln7i4rg3x65pzbxbbgo7zp2by4wdqs4@jpeg)
