Study: Language Models Agree More With Each Other Than With Readers

A new study published on arXiv suggests that large language models (LLMs) exhibit a higher degree of agreement among themselves than they do with human readers. Researchers measured the convergence of LLMs against a reference set of human annotations, finding that models consistently agreed more with each other than with how humans naturally highlight text. This phenomenon was observed across various models from different vendors and countries, with even frontier models showing twice the agreement with themselves compared to GPT-4o's self-agreement. AI

IMPACT Suggests LLMs may be developing internal consensus that diverges from human interpretation, potentially impacting their utility in tasks requiring nuanced human alignment.

    Language Models Agree With Each Other, Not With Readers

    Claims that language models homogenise are usually measured against human judgements collected for the study, which makes the human side an artifact of the design: a crowdworker given the model's instruction is running the model's prompt. We measure convergence against a human re…
