Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? ChatGPT-3.5 and Bard had significantly lower odds of raw accuracy than ChatGPT-4.0 (OR = 0.52 and OR = 0.42). → Cadiente 2024
q2 i? ChatGPT-3.5 and Bard also had significantly lower odds of being fully or partially correct than ChatGPT-4.0 (OR = 0.58 and OR = 0.48). → Cadiente 2024 (2)
Evidence¶
Cadiente 2024¶
Cadiente, A., Chen, J., Kasselman, L., & Pilkington, B. (2024). Large Language Models take on the AAMC Situational Judgment Test: Evaluating Dilemma-Based Scenarios. Research Square preprint. https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-4560463/v1
q2 · i? · design · r2
Logistic regression of raw accuracy across the three LLMs' responses to the 2021 AAMC SJT practice exam (186 solutions per model). The article reports "ChatGPT-3.5 and Bard had signi cantly lower odds of being accurate" than ChatGPT-4.0, with the printed ORs and CIs.
"ChatGPT-3.5 and Bard had signi cantly lower odds of being accurate (using raw scores) compared to ChatGPT-4.0 (ChatGPT3.5 OR = 0.52, 95% CI [0.34,0.78], p = 0.002; Bard OR = 0.42, 95%CI [0.28,0.64], p < 0.001, Table I.)"
Cadiente 2024 (2)¶
Cadiente, A., Chen, J., Kasselman, L., & Pilkington, B. (2024). Large Language Models take on the AAMC Situational Judgment Test: Evaluating Dilemma-Based Scenarios. Research Square preprint. https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-4560463/v1
q2 · i? · associational · r1
Ordinal logistic regression of adjusted accuracy (full or partial credit) on the same 186-solution exam. The article reports significantly lower odds for ChatGPT-3.5 and Bard "compared to ChatGPT-4.0" with the printed ORs and CIs.
"ChatGPT-3.5 and Bard had signi cantly lower odds of being fully correct or partially correct compared to ChatGPT-4.0 (ChatGPT-3.5 OR = 0.58, 95% CI [0.39,0.85], p = 0.006; Bard OR = 0.48, 95% CI [0.33,0.72], p < 0.001, Table III.)"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Bard unexpectedly cited references including the 2021 AAMC SJT practice exam booklet, suggesting potential use as a reference manager despite its inaccuracy — related
- The three LLMs showed fair inter-model agreement on the AAMC SJT, agreeing most strongly on incorrect answers — related
- Solution sentiment showed no meaningful individual relationship with LLM accuracy despite a small statistically significant collective trend — related
- Increased solution count correlated with decreased LLM accuracy, falling short of statistical significance except at solution count 5 — related
- No significant difference in accuracy between ChatGPT 3.5 and Bard 1.0 generated MCQs — related
- Situational judgement tests show a statistically significant but negligible-magnitude effect on early program academic results (d=0.170), while personality test evidence was insufficient for meta-analysis — related
