These generated questions wereranked by both Claude-2 and a member of the research team, and the rankings were compared.Through this process, we found that generative models can be used to write initial interviewquestions, but the quality of the questions is not consistent. Specifically, the questions generatedwere often relevant to the project, but they were not necessarily useful because of the use ofawkward language. Despite this, the generated questions served as a helpful starting point fordeveloping a
