A new research paper explores the potential of LLM-based digital twins to reduce the need for human data collection in scientific inference. The study introduces 'statistical substitutability' as a criterion to evaluate if these twins can support valid conclusions without extensive human measurement. Findings indicate that while LLM twins can replicate average human effects, they offer limited insight into individual differences, and improvements in models or data do not consistently lead to savings in human data. The research emphasizes that the value of AI-generated evidence should be judged by its ability to reduce uncertainty about human quantities, rather than solely by its capacity to mimic human outcomes.
