This is a fascinating paper that suggests that AI agents can indeed be used for social science experiments, but that just using a chatbot isn't good enough, instead prompts developed based on social science & game theory makes AI agent actions predictive of real human outcomes.

Optimized agents predict the human responses far better than an off-the-shelf baseline LLM (3x) and relevant game-theoretic equilibria (2x). In 86% of the games, all human subjects chose a strategy in support of the LLM simulations; only 18% were in support of the equilibria.
