Generative Artificial Intelligence-Guided User Studies: An Application for Air Taxi Services
<|reference_start|>Generative Artificial Intelligence-Guided User Studies: An Application for Air Taxi Services: User studies are crucial for meeting user needs. In user studies, real experimental scenarios and participants are constructed and recruited. However, emerging and unfamiliar studies face limitations, including safety concerns and iterative efficiency. To address these challenges, this study utilizes a large language model (LLM) to create generative AI virtual scenarios for user experience. By recruiting real users to evaluate this experience, we can collect feedback that enables rapid iteration in the early design phase. The air taxi is particularly representative of these challenges and has been chosen as the case study for this research. The key contribution was designing a virtual ATJ using OpenAI's GPT-4 model and AI image and video generators. Based on the LLM-generated scripts, key visuals were created for the air taxi, and the ATJ was evaluated by 72 participants. Furthermore, the LLM demonstrated the ability to identify and suggest environments that significantly improve participants' attitudes toward air taxis. Education level and gender significantly influenced participants' attitudes and their satisfaction with the ATJ. Our study confirms the capability of generative AI to support user studies, providing a feasible approach and valuable insights for designing air taxi user experiences in the early design phase.<|reference_end|>
