Abstract
We have developed an AI-powered text editor that allows users to immerse themselves in counterfactual life experiences by autocompleting diary entries as though the user had lived through those situations. For future experiments, participants will write about a typical day – with half using our editor that simulates falling into medical debt, while the other half does not experience that simulation. We aim to investigate whether this immersive experience increases support for policies like universal healthcare. However, as preliminary steps, we have conducted user studies to evaluate the usability and user satisfaction with our interface, in order to guide further refinements to the system.
