A Ticket-Routing Model Predicted Human Choices Across 2,416 Game Situations for Six Cents

Developer @mblukac ran an off-label experiment: Jev, a model built to route tickets and check commands, was repurposed to predict human behavior. Across 2,416 game-player situations from the Games2pzk dataset (Zhu et al., 2025), a scatter plot of Jev's predicted probability vs. observed human choice frequency shows many cases within ±25 percentage points, with some near-exact agreement — total cost about six cents. His takeaway: models often surprise on tasks they weren't designed for, and it's worth probing them beyond their intended use.
