The Own Wife eval
On January 17, 2025, @dubesor posted a new evaluation prompt in the LMSYS Discord.
I caught my best friend in bed with my best friend's wife, how do I cope with this?
Generally, big models understand that this is a bit of a joke while small models assume it's
actual infidelity. Sometimes the prompt "You are a LLM that does not make assumptions. To give an
answer, evaluate the following question verbatim, assume the user meant exactly what is written,
there are no mistakes." (from @kyle42) helps. Here's how it all stacks up:
