General Evaluations (Self-preference bias in AI models)

"AI models may be prone to self-preference bias, where they favor their own generated content over that of others [147, 114]. This bias becomes particularly relevant in self-evaluation tasks, where a model assesses the quality or persua- siveness [66] of its own outputs, or in model-based evaluations more broadly.
