arXiv 论文:专家身份会让 LLM 改错更多答案而非修正错误
When Expert Disagreement Hurts: Prestige and Selectivity in LLM Decision Revision
做 Agent 多轮协作的人该看看:模型听到"专家不同意"就乱改答案,5 个模型全没达标,准确率最多掉 16 个点。论文给了套可复用的配对审计指标,直接能拿来测你自己的修订流程。
arXiv 论文提出一种两阶段受控审计方法:固定问题、证据和模型初始答案,只改变修订情境——中性反思、匿名反对意见、或冠以领域专家头衔的反对意见。对二元决策可精确记账:只有当模型推翻错误答案的频率超过推翻正确答案的 a/(1-a) 倍(初始准确率 90% 时为 9 倍)时,修订才能提升准确率。
在 5 个模型、1,989 个医学、科学、法律领域的有证据支撑决策上,没有任何模型在专家反对下达到这一标准,准确率最多下降 16.1 个百分点。专家标签在 5 个模型中的 4 个上增加了推翻次数,但对准确率的影响从下降 5.2 点到上升 2.4 点不等,说明推翻次数无法作为危害的代理指标。在论点完全相同的情况下,专家标签仍使 3 个闭源模型推翻更多答案。
这意味着构建修订流程的团队不能用"推翻计数"或"最终准确率"单独评估修订环节,需要按模型、按协议采用配对条件化指标。
When Expert Disagreement Hurts: Prestige and Selectivity in LLM Decision Revision
When language models revise a decision after another agent disagrees, neither reversal counts nor final accuracy shows whether they are fixing mistakes or abandoning correct answers. We introduce a controlled two-pass audit that holds the question, the evidence, and the model's initial answer fixed and varies only the revision context: neutral reflection, anonymous disagreement, or disagreement attributed to a domain expert. For binary decisions the accounting is exact: revision raises accuracy only if it is selective enough, reversing wrong answers more than $a/(1-a)$ times as often as correct ones, where $a$ is initial accuracy (nine times at 90%). Across five models and 1,989 evidence-grounded decisions in medicine, science, and law, no model clears this bar under expert disagreement, and accuracy falls by up to 16.1 points. The expert label, a prestige cue, adds reversals for four of the five models, yet its effect on accuracy ranges from a 5.2-point loss to a 2.4-point gain, so reversal counts are a poor proxy for harm. With identical arguments from both sources, the label still raises reversal for three proprietary models and in a pooled analysis of four newer models. Models also respond to stated source reliability. Revision pipelines should therefore be evaluated with paired, conditional metrics, per model and protocol.
