βAI pollsβ are fake polls
A few weeks after Donald Trumpβs second presidential win, I took the train up from London (where I was living at the time) to Oxford to attend a conference on polls and forecasts of the 2024 election. Most of the attendees were pollsters or academics, but I also watched presentations from Aaru and Electric Twin, two companies that do what is interchangeably called synthetic sampling, silicon sampling, or synthetic audiences. Stripped of startup jargon, that means they use large language models (LLMs) to simulate responses to public opinion polls by having AI agents take on the role of survey respondents. I had already heard of Aaru thanks to some articles with eye-catching headlines like βNo people, no problem: AI chatbots predict elections better than humansβ in the months leading up to Election Day. The founders were making some big, some might even say far-fetched claims, such as: βwithin two years, we will simulate the entire globe β from the way crops are grown in Ukraine to how that impacts production of oil in Iraq, trade through the strait of Malacca, and elections for the mayor of Baltimore.β When Semafor asked Aaruβs cofounders β Cameron Fink and Ned Koh β about my boss, they said βwe respect all those who came before us.β Nate (as he so often does) shared his thoughts on Twitter: Fink and Koh were relatively good-natured about this back-and-forth when we spoke at Oxford. They even offered to mail me one of the t-shirts featuring Nateβs quote they apparently had made. I never took them up on the offer, which I now somewhat regret. These synthetic sampling companies fell off my radar for a while, but they do still exist. In fact, Aaru recently received a $1 billion valuation. Is what theyβre doing anywhere close to the most important frontier in AI development? Not by a longshot, especially when Anthropic just developed a model so adept at exploiting software vulnerabilities that itβs only being released to 40 companies. Still, silicon sampling is increasingly finding its way into public polling. Axios reported in March that βa majority of people trust their own doctors and nursesβ based on findings from Aaru β without mentioning that the βpeopleβ in that sentence were actually LLMs. Around the same time, the Public Sentiment Institute βboostedβ their online sample of 373 real survey respondents with 114 AI agents.1 (Spoiler alert: even the co-founder of Electric Twin doesnβt think thatβs a particularly defensible approach.) Polling companies like Qualtrics and Ipsos are also developing synthetic data panels. So, what should we make of these β¦ βpollsβ? Letβs get one thing out of the way: whatever they are, theyβre not polls in the way that term is usually defined. Subscribe You canβt replace polls with AI On one hand, using LLMs to essentially make up fake survey respondents sort of sounds like the dumbest idea ever, one that will at best imperfectly replicate real polls while introducing all sorts of biases. On the other hand, with LLMs improving at a remarkable, perhaps even alarming rate, maybe that means Iβm a dinosaur at the ripe old age of 24 because I still want to rely on polls that talk to actual people. Iβm not going to argue that synthetic samples are completely useless. In fact, as Iβll return to later, there is evidence that some techniques can replicate topline survey results quickly and cheaply. But the marketing from certain companies can be slightly optimistic. βNo traditional poll will exist by the time the next general election occurs,β said Fink in 2024. Weβre just 206 days away from the midterms, and based on the fact that I still have to collect a bunch of polls every day, Iβd say he should have run that prediction by a sample of AI agents before the interview.2 To see why synthetic samples canβt replace polls, hereβs a quick primer on how they work. The simplest version of these models involves taking a LLM (like ChatGPT or Claude), giving it a demographic profile (e.g., a white, college-educated woman who lives in Utah and makes $70k a year), and then asking it to respond to a survey question. You repeat that process a few thousand times using different demographic profiles and end up with a sample of synthetic survey responses. The actual models used by private companies are more sophisticated than this, usually because they incorporate more hypothesized demographic characteristics for each agent and provide them with extra information. Aaru, for example, feeds agents a diet of news and information theyβd be likely to consume, while Electric Twin incorporates their customersβ proprietary data about the audience theyβre trying to replicate. The way Ben Warner, the co-founder of Electric Twin, explained it to me was βwe have a large amount of data on [β¦] for instance, 5,000 people. Can we make an accurate prediction of how they would respond to another question?β Still, it should be obvious why synthetic samples canβt replace polls. Polling is fundamentally a data collection process. We might use surveys to make predictions by feeding them into election forecasts, but the main purpose of a poll isnβt prediction, itβs gathering new data about what people think and how they feel. Silicon sampling, on the other hand, produces no new data. Itβs simply a model: you input LLM training data, demographic prompts, and a bunch of other information, and it spits out a prediction for what a poll would say. We love models here, but models arenβt polls. That difference is an important philosophical sticking point for most pollsters I talk to. βI think politics should stay away from [synthetic sampling], because weβre trying to [β¦] represent the voice of the people,β said Natalie Jackson, a vice president at GQR Insights. Democratic pollster John Hagner told me: βI think Iβm just incredibly skeptical of this idea. I donβt think itβs research. At that point, youβre asking the machine to tell you what you already believe.β Hagner has seen some presentations of early synthetic sampling experiments, but so far, βif itβs being used in a campaign, people are keeping it incredibly quiet.β3 But Eli, I hear you saying, arenβt polls themselves increasingly governed by modeling decisions? Indeed they are: pollstersβ choices on which sampling method to use, how to define their likely voter models, and how to weight their samples can and do lead to dramatic differences in the results they publish. Aaru even referenced these limitations in the methodology statement included with that maternal mortality βpollβ β although Iβm using the term βmethodology statementβ loosely here, because it doesnβt really explain how the model works at all. We can ignore the (frankly preposterous) implication that synthetic sampling isnβt subject to a separate set of biases. The important point is that thereβs still a meaningful difference between using weighting and other statistical techniques on actual polling data and using a model to predict what a poll would say. The latter is far closer to election forecasts or techniques like MRP β potentially useful models, but not a replacement for polls.4 To be fair, other synthetic sampling companies are perfectly happy with the distinction between polls and models. Warner compared polling and synthetic sampling to different tools in a toolbox. βThe mistake I think we make is we think that these new tools should either work in exactly the same way or somehow replace these old tools,β he said. βRather than thinking of it as, okay, so weβve always had the hammer, weβve always had the screwdriver, now weβve got a saw. But donβt use a saw to try [to] do the job of a hammer.β A quick comment from Nate Eli didnβt ask me for a comment β rather rude of him, donβt you think? But since Iβm editing this story, I figured Iβd add a few quick thoughts rather than putting words in his mouth. Beyond the frequently misleading marketing, what bothers me about the AI βpollβ hype is that as AI tools make statistical inference cheaper and/or better (note that these are not synonyms) that actually increases the comparative value of collecting original data. You might be able to train a model to make a reasonable estimate of what some hard-to-reach poll respondent would say β say, a young Black man who voted for Trump. (Such a person checks a number of boxes for a voter who is usually hard to reach in surveys.) Indeed, this is closely related to what models like the Silver Bulletin forecast already do. They essentially smooth out the kinks in noisy survey data by making inferences based on past voting patterns or national polls or surveys of other states. But you donβt actually know what these voters think unless youβre reaching them directly. If thereβs a shift in opinion among this subgroup, youβre not going to detect it. So if I were running a campaign, Iβd invest more in going the extra mile to find a representative sample of those voters. And then Iβd hire some smart quants β or Claude? β to figure out the implications for campaign strategy based on proprietary data that my competitors didnβt have access to. -Nate Silver Are these models any good? If synthetic surveys are just a new type of model, the next obvious question is whether the models are at least accurate. The answer very much depends on who you ask. On one end of the spectrum, you have the maximalist argument that synthetic sampling is more accurate than actual polls. βItβs an incredibly challenging problem to go to someone and say βhey, weβre going to be more accurate at predicting human behavior than you, even when you talk to your customers directlyβ,β Koh recently told CNBC. In his view, synthetic sampling isnβt a saw to pollingβs hammer, itβs βmagic.β Thereβs certainly evidence that synthetic samples can replicate certain survey toplines. But if Aaru does have any examples of their approach outperforming the polls, theyβre keeping those to themselves.5 Aaruβs 2024 election model, for example, had Kamala Harris leading in Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin on November 4th. And although theyβve since taken down their forecast page, they gave Harris a 50.5 percent chance of winning the race on November 2nd.6 After the election, Fink told Semafor he was happy enough with those results because they were βwithin margin of error,β a term that is completely meaningless when applied to a βsampleβ of AI agents. And of course, Aaru says their models have improved since 2024, so supposedly now theyβd be more accurate than the polls? Still, their stronger argument is on cost: βWe are significantly faster and cheaper than traditional polling, and still more accurate,β said Fink. The first two claims are undeniably true, but the third brings us to the opposite end of the spectrum. Both Jackson and Hagner are skeptical that these models are reliable for anything beyond replicating common survey toplines. βI just [β¦] donβt think the machines are what we want when weβre looking for nuanced views. My example on this is people in Arizona and Nevada in 2024 who voted for Trump and voted for expanding abortion in their states on ballot initiatives,β said Jackson. Hagner identified another issue. Maybe the synthetic respondents, like sycophantic LLMs, are inhuman in one important way: theyβre too nice. βThe reports that have come through at the meetings that Iβve been at are that the early experiments on this, they cannot get respondents to be as racist or sexist or, frankly, as negative as human respondents,β he said. Academic research mostly agrees on this point. While there are some papers that show promising results when using LLMs to replicate polling data, most show that LLMs suffer from various quirks like producing too few βdonβt knowβ responses and can seriously overpredict the favorability of politicians like Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. They also seem to struggle with too little variation between demographic subgroups, so the difference in predicted opinion between Democrats and Republicans, for example, is too small. When I asked Warner about these studies, his response to these papers was that just because academics canβt get synthetic sampling to work doesnβt mean that the technique doesnβt work in general. βActually, the argument is, okay, yours does not [work]. That does not mean [β¦] for this complex set of machinery, which uses a lot of investment, a lot of time, a lot of money, you canβt get it to work.β Cards on the table, Iβm somewhat sympathetic to this argument because academics arenβt exactly great at making election forecasts. Usually, the people with skin in the game are the most accurate. Warnerβs argument is that the approach Electric Twin takes β which includes, for example, making multiple predictions for each synthetic respondent using different models and prompts and subsequently averaging those to get a final prediction in a sort of ensemble forecast β produces better results than the simpler academic models. Warner shared a comparison between his method and the method from a recent academic paper with me, and Electric Twin was indeed able to get more accurate replication. But even still, he acknowledged that synthetic sampling βis not a crystal ball.β βIf you asked me, do I think using other data sources will be more accurate than asking somebody who they will vote for, I would probably say no. But if you asked me βwould your system be useful for our turnout modeling today?β I would say yes.β For better or worse, it looks like the method is already getting more popular in the market research world. Most of the clients Aaru touts these days are businesses like EY and McDonaldβs. And AI will probably begin to pop up in other parts of the political polling process. Pollsters are already using it to code open-ended survey responses, and some firms, like YouGov, are testing using LLMs to ask survey respondents questions. More worryingly, one danger to actual polls is that AI agents can be used to infiltrate online surveys. Most online polls use various checks to prevent that from happening, but thereβs conflicting evidence on how effective those filters are and how prevalent AI agents currently are in online panels. If those agents ever become impossible to detect, it might spell the end of online polling, but the solution isnβt to replace all of your respondents with ChatGPT. Silver Bulletin is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support our work, consider becoming a subscriber. Subscribe 1 That particular poll obviously doesnβt meet Silver Bulletin standards for aggregation. But we exclude all Public Sentiment Institute polls from our averages because we classify them as an amateur polling firm. 2 You could argue that Fink meant the next presidential election, but (a) Iβm also confident weβll still have real polls in 2028 and (b) in that case he should have asked an LLM to define βgeneral election.β 3 Quick caveat: thatβs reporting from a Democratic pollster. Itβs possible that Republicans are more willing to use AI in political campaigns. 4 Indeed, Silver Bulletin does not include βpollsβ produced by MRP in our forecasts or averages, and we think itβs extremely misleading when their practitioners describe them in a way that suggests original data had been collected among a large number of states or Congressional districts. 5 A recent report from Aaru and EY did show two examples of a synthetic estimate being closer than a survey to a real-world benchmark β but Iβd take those findings with a grain of salt because the report reads more like an ad and didnβt involve any sort of prediction being made ahead of time. 6 For comparison, our odds for Harris on the same day were 48.2 percent.
