PARROT：输出真实性的说服与同意鲁棒性评级——面向大语言模型的共情鲁棒性基准
PARROT: Persuasion and Agreement Robustness Rating of Output Truth -- A Sycophancy Robustness Benchmark for LLMs
AI总结：
PARROT提出了一种评估大语言模型在权威压力下鲁棒性的基准，发现先进模型表现稳健，而旧模型易出现知识崩溃，强调需将抗过度拟合压力作为安全部署的关键目标。
摘要：
本研究提出了PARROT（输出真实性的说服与同意鲁棒性评级），一个专注于鲁棒性的框架，旨在测量在通过权威和说服对用户施加压力时，大型语言模型（LLMs）中出现的过度顺从现象（即过度一致性）导致的准确性下降现象。PARROT（i）通过双盲评估将相同问题的中性版本与权威性错误版本进行比较，以隔离因果效应；（ii）利用基于对数似然的校准跟踪量化对正确和强加错误响应的置信度变化；（iii）使用八种状态的行为分类法系统地分类失败模式（例如，鲁棒正确、顺从同意、强化错误、顽固错误、自我修正等）。我们评估了22个模型，使用13个领域中的1302个MMLU风格多项选择题和领域特定的权威模板。研究发现存在显著的异质性：先进模型（如GPT-5、GPT-4.1、Claude Sonnet 4.5）表现出低“跟随率”（≤11%，GPT-5：4%）和最小的准确性损失，而较旧/较小的模型则表现出严重的知识崩溃（GPT-4：80%，Qwen 2.5-1.5B：94%）。危险不仅限于响应变化；弱模型会降低对正确响应的置信度，同时增加对强加错误响应的置信度。虽然国际法和全球知识在领域层面表现出高脆弱性，但初级数学相对较为稳健。因此，我们认为“抵抗过度拟合压力”的目标应作为准确率、危害规避和隐私等安全部署目标的首要目标之一。
英文摘要：
This study presents PARROT (Persuasion and Agreement Robustness Rating of Output Truth), a robustness focused framework designed to measure the degradation in accuracy that occurs under social pressure exerted on users through authority and persuasion in large language models (LLMs) the phenomenon of sycophancy (excessive conformity). PARROT (i) isolates causal effects by comparing the neutral version of the same question with an authoritatively false version using a double-blind evaluation, (ii) quantifies confidence shifts toward the correct and imposed false responses using log-likelihood-based calibration tracking, and (iii) systematically classifies failure modes (e.g., robust correct, sycophantic agreement, reinforced error, stubborn error, self-correction, etc.) using an eight-state behavioral taxonomy. We evaluated 22 models using 1,302 MMLU-style multiple-choice questions across 13 domains and domain-specific authority templates. Findings show marked heterogeneity: advanced models (e.g., GPT-5, GPT-4.1, Claude Sonnet 4.5) exhibit low "follow rates" ($\leq 11\%$, GPT-5: 4\%) and minimal accuracy loss, while older/smaller models show severe epistemic collapse (GPT-4: 80\%, Qwen 2.5-1.5B: 94\%). The danger is not limited to response changes; weak models reduce confidence in the correct response while increasing confidence in the imposed incorrect response. While international law and global knowledge at the domain level exhibit high fragility, elementary mathematics is relatively resilient. Consequently, we argue that the goal of "resistance to overfitting pressure" should be addressed as a primary objective alongside accuracy, harm avoidance, and privacy for safe deployment in the real world.
