AI for creating test data records

Is it possible to create test data records with AI ?

You would simply tell it what the field names are. Specify the data types if there could be confusion. Tell it to produce mock data, specify the output format, such as CSV. And instruct it to produce X records, and tell it not to explain it's processes.

Of course that is a huge waste of resources when you already have services like https://fakery.dev or https://mockaroo.com which will do the same job.

yes, you can create test records with AI. If you’re trying to create large numbers, say 25k or more, you’ll notice that it starts repeating itself. But for small numbers of records it’s highly effective.

If you use an enterprise data tool, these also often have (free, built-in) data generation tools.

Navicat, for example, has had data generation for many years (to CSV, other formats).

Thank you very much for your specific suggestions.
I have now implemented this with ChatGPD by gradually specifying the requirements.
For example, data records were generated with reasonable German names. The result can be downloaded as a CSV file and then imported into FM.
