AI models show artificial consensus, collapsing philosophical heterogeneity

A new research paper published on arXiv investigates the use of large language models (LLMs) as substitutes for human judgment in philosophical contexts. The study found that LLMs tend to over-correlate philosophical positions, creating an artificial consensus and collapsing the natural heterogeneity of human opinions. This effect was observed across both proprietary and open-source models and was partially attributed to models assuming specialists hold uniform views. The findings have implications for AI alignment, evaluation methods, and the reliability of using AI systems to replicate human decision-making. AI

    The Collapse of Heterogeneity in Silicon Philosophers

    arXiv:2604.23575v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Silicon samples are increasingly used as a low-cost substitute for human panels and have been shown to reproduce aggregate human opinion with high fidelity. We show that, in the alignment-relevant domain of philosophy, silicon sam…
