Interviews, the traditional method of qualitative research, require significant human and financial resources and are limited in terms of the number of participants that can be reached. However, large language models (LLMs) offer an opportunity to conduct interviews at scale, thereby creating a bridge between the richness of qualitative data and the statistical power of quantitative data. Specifically, the LLM can act as an interviewer and interact with human respondents recruited on a standard online platform, such as Prolific. This makes it possible to conduct interviews with thousands of respondents in a matter of hours.
