So true and so very sad if this becomes widespread. What's next? AI research participants (this may already be a thing but i'd rather not check and continue to exist in ignorance for the time being)

THIS! Inclusive PPIE matters, but simulating lived experience just completely misses the point. PPIE seeks input and partnership but also builds community, trust and relationships that shape research over time. It involves (and should involve!) a lot of ongoing work and effort.

This makes my heart sink.
