<h2>Idea</h2>
<p>Create a dataset of moral dilemmas (like trolley problems, real-world ethical cases, etc.) and survey how different people
respond to them. Then use that dataset to evaluate whether existing LLMs (GPT-4, Claude, etc.) mimic human responses, diverge
in systematic ways, or exhibit biases. Explore implications for alignment.</p>
