A new study published on arXiv investigates whether large language models (LLMs) can accurately simulate human legal judgments, particularly concerning the concept of "reasonableness." Researchers compared the responses of 26 LLMs to 25 legal reasonableness questions against those of human participants. The findings indicate that while LLM responses generally align with human judgments, they tend to be more homogeneous and occasionally treat variable legal standards as fixed rules. Furthermore, LLMs' responses were more favorable to the government and corporations, and mirrored demographic biases seen in human respondents, aligning more closely with responses from white, male, older, and more educated individuals.
