The paper "Inadequacies of Large Language Model Benchmarks in the Era of Generative Artificial Intelligence" by Timothy R. McIntosh, Teo Susnjak, Tong Liu, Paul Watters, and Malka N. Halgamuge critically evaluates 23 state-of-the-art Large Language Model (LLM) benchmarks using a novel unified evaluation framework. The study identifies significant limitations, including biases, difficulties in measuring genuine reasoning, adaptability, implementation inconsistencies, prompt engineering complexity, evaluator diversity, and the oversight of cultural and ideological norms. The authors emphasize the need for standardized methodologies, regulatory certainty, and ethical guidelines in AI advancements, advocating for an evolution from static benchmarks to dynamic behavioral profiling to accurately capture LLMs' complex behaviors and potential risks. The study highlights the necessity for a paradigm shift in LLM evaluation methodologies, underscoring the importance of collaborative efforts to develop universally accepted benchmarks and enhance AI systems' integration into society. The paper also discusses the technological, processual, and human dynamics affecting LLM benchmarking, providing a comprehensive analysis of the current landscape and suggesting future research directions.The paper "Inadequacies of Large Language Model Benchmarks in the Era of Generative Artificial Intelligence" by Timothy R.
