AI debate method flawed by "die bias," author warns

The author critiques a popular AI evaluation method that involves having multiple AI instances debate and selecting the winner, arguing that it suffers from "die bias." This method, while employing a sound Monte Carlo approach to explore diverse outputs, primarily samples within a single model's probability distribution. Consequently, it can precisely map the model's inherent biases rather than uncovering objective truths or systemic errors. The author provides two anecdotes: one where an AI's self-tests missed critical bugs later found by a different AI model, and another where a fabricated claim, presented with statistical language and a cautious tone, was unanimously accepted by judging AIs, highlighting the limitations of relying solely on AI consensus for verification.
