A developer built an LLM-based grading system, dubbed "LLM-as-a-Judge," to evaluate responses from other language models. The system was tested against human preferences using data from the LMSYS Chatbot Arena. The experiment revealed two key failures: the judge model exhibited low score stability and a narrow output range, rarely deviating from scores of 7 or 8, thus lacking resolution. Furthermore, the judge model agreed with human preferences only 43% of the time when considering ties as misses, indicating it often failed to distinguish between correct and incorrect answers, sometimes even favoring confident but wrong responses.
