General Evaluations (Incorrect outputs of GPAI evaluating other AI models)

"When an LLM is configured to evaluate the performance of another model or AI system, it may produce incorrect evaluation outputs [122, 147]. For example, it may give a higher rating to a more verbose answer or an answer from a particular political stance. If an LLM-based evaluation is integrated into the training of a new model, the trained model could develop in a way that specifically finds and exploits limitat...
