# Title
Mimicking students, politicians and commissioners – how good are LLMs at targeted text generation?
# Abstract
In this talk I report on recent work measuring the perceived quality of LLM impersonations, from a large-scale evaluation of persuasive essays to a representative study on LLM impersonations of well-known political and societal personalities in the UK. I also report on work employing LLMs as commissioners in US parole hearings: We discuss the effect of prompting with the rhetorical fingerprints of actual US parole commissioners on the language that is generated and show the difference in argumentation between the actual and the generated parole decisions.
