&lt;p>The match room lets you inspect individual comparisons, switch between countries, models, and questions, and replay recorded answers. Population views compare agreement, response distributions, and candidate attribute effects for the selected cohort. A separate “Your turn” view lets you try the candidate-choice task yourself.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>The interface distinguishes saved model explanations and self-reported probabilities from human answers. Replays reveal existing records; they do not generate new model responses. These comparisons are exploratory and do not establish that an AI persona is equivalent to a human respondent.&lt;/p>

&lt;p>The research app requires ChatGPT sign-in. The project landing page introduces the interface without displaying respondent records.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
