We actually have a full page on the methodology we used. We did over 20 experiments on the best way to digest this dataset and ended up settling on just using llms to review each interview in-depth. This helped us unlock some insights that would only be available if we paid someone to actually sit down and read every single interview. All other nlp approaches we used, like topic modeling, tfidf, and the roaring 2010s wordcloud,s were just too boring to even warrant a write-up. We tried bringing up as many raw excerpts to light as they make our point that much clearer. People are not simply "happy" about ai as Anthropic would have us believe, they are torn by it. It gives them a deep sense of angst and make them question the authenticity of their very existence.
