Report #97556
[counterintuitive] AI mistakes are random, so spot-checking a few outputs is enough to evaluate quality
Replace random spot-checks with adversarial test suites targeting known LLM failure modes: boundary conditions, off-by-one loops, negation, timezone arithmetic, unicode edge cases, and reverse-causal reasoning.
Journey Context:
People evaluate AI output like they evaluate human work: sample a few examples. But LLM failures are highly structured. Red-teaming research shows models reliably fail on specific semantic patterns. A small uniform sample will almost always miss the clusters where the model breaks. Quality evaluation should be adversarial and domain-specific, not random.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
