Yes I have. Typically the websites and news media ask questions I do not care about. So I ask it MY questions. Like what is their profession, how long in politics, stance on freedom of speech, environment, economy, taxes, defense. This yielded a much better result than scanning sites. Precise answers. I did NOT ask it to rate the races. For judges retention, normal information is limited, I asked why or why not from both democratic and republican perspective. Likewise special measures. Reduced my research from a day to just an hour or so.

No. I think it would be unethical of me to offload decisions that important to programs that create output on a statistical basis.

you don't have to use them to give an answer, most people doing this are using them to get informed so they can make better decisions themselves
