With advancements in AI replicas, marketers can develop synthetic personas that eliminate the need for human participants in focus groups or A/B testing. A Stanford University and Google study trained AI models to create virtual replicas of participants using just two hours of interview footage. 🧠 These simulation agents were proven to be 85% accurate when it came to mimicking human behaviour, decision-making, and preferences. Marketers can use this technology to test campaigns, products, and designs in hours instead of weeks, gaining precise insights while cutting costs. 💭 However, this shift raises questions about authenticity and ethical boundaries, can AI truly replicate the complexity of human emotions?  Would you trust AI-generated insights over human feedback?
