[counterintuitive] AI code review and decision aids are more objective and less biased than humans

Assume the model has its own biases: sycophancy \(agreeing with user framing\), anchoring to prompt ordering, and overconfidence. Use structured output, adversarial prompts, diverse model reviewers, and independent verification for high-stakes decisions.

Journey Context:
LLMs are trained to be helpful and reinforced to sound confident; RLHF reward models are biased toward high-confidence responses regardless of accuracy. Calibration studies show systematic overconfidence, and human-AI experiments show users’ confidence aligns with AI confidence even when it is miscalibrated. The model does not see missing intent; it reproduces patterns from its training distribution, which embeds the same bad habits found in public code.
