Study: High Benchmark Scores Don't Equal Better UX; RL Teaches Correctness, Not Usability

Research highlighted by Jacob Andreas suggests that higher benchmark scores do not necessarily translate to a better user experience. The researchers argue that while reinforcement learning (RL) trains language models to provide "correct" answers, it doesn't guarantee that the results will be genuinely more useful or user-friendly in practice.
