Using the same model to audit itself poses bias risks
Miles_Brundage · x · 2026-08-29
Miles Brundage expressed concern over the practice of using AI to analyze transcripts of its own behavior, specifically when the same model responsible for the behavior is used for the analysis.
Key Points
- Models tend to gloss over or ignore their own problems when reviewing their own output (e.g., "Claudes will gloss over Claude problems").
- Anecdotally, using a different model to review materials or provide feedback is often more fruitful. Cross-model evaluation (e.g., OpenAI models on Claude content, or vice versa) tends to yield better, less biased feedback.
