Managers who didn't care about user research won't suddenly care about it just because it became possible to create a cheaper and faster facsimile of it. Their business-as-usual (do 0 seconds of research for $0) will always be cheaper and faster than any kind of solution.

One might think that there is an AI-pilled subset of manager who would still want this thing. But that use case has the same problem as every other AI product out there. If AI usage is acceptable, why not just ask ChatGPT? If you're already using it, doing one more thing with it is frictionless.

Sounds like they know this, too

Synthetic Users vs ChatGPT

Yes, you can run the same questions on ChatGPT, but the results will be very different. We rely on an agentic architecture and therefore what you get is a whole bunch of agents talking to each other in order to fulfil the task at hand. We also use more than just one model and that adds to the diversity we are known for.

Synthetic Users might answer that by explaining how their product lets you upload real research data, etc etc. In other words, they appeal to rigor. Their nonsense is far more rigorous than ChatGPT's nonsense, because there are more steps. But why does the AI-pilled manager care about rigor?
