SummaryPaper presents Rehearsim, a research probe using LLM-simulated participants as materials for qualitative interview rehearsal rather than human substitutes. A study with 21 researchers shows it helps surface assumptions, revise target populations, and develop probes, while revealing risks such as concealment of weak questions and interpretive anchoring.
Why it mattersConcrete inspectable-rehearsal framework with traceability and contestability, plus documented risks from a 21-researcher empirical study — directly applicable to qualitative workflows using AI.
