Survey-taking bots employing the latest LLM technologies, like ChatGPT, can mimic human responses to a high degree, making them very hard to detect. How do we defend against automated responses and ensure data quality? In part one of our LLM series, we will discuss the problem, and look at techniques for bot detection and response screening.
