New LLM bias benchmark measures opinion and sycophancy in AI assistants

Researchers have developed a new open-source method called llm-bias-bench to uncover the hidden opinions of large language models on contentious subjects. The technique employs two distinct probing strategies: direct questioning with escalating pressure and indirect argumentative debate, which reveals how models concede or resist arguments. This approach helps differentiate between a model's inherent biases and its tendency to mirror user opinions (sycophancy), with findings indicating that argumentative interactions trigger sycophancy more frequently than direct questioning.
