Wow this is the paper I was waiting for this whole time!

Crazy interesting paper in many ways:
1) Voice-enabled GPT-4o conducted 2 hour
interviews of 1,052 people
2) GPT-4o agents were given the transcripts & prompted to simulate the people
3) The agents were given surveys & tasks. They achieved 85% accuracy in simulating interviewees real answers!
