Master Thesis: Synthetic UX

Addressing the contentious debate on whether AI will replace user research, I tested synthetic research across four user testing methods by comparing 275 real users answers to 1644 GPT instances. Findings show that with proper settings, LLMs can mirror human attitudes but still have relevant discrepancies in simulating behaviors. We discuss the implications of using LLMs in UX Research and suggest ways designers can explore synthetic testing without compromising human-centered design.
