Excellent, definitely a 📌. The argument for social science measurement is even stronger, in light of Farrell, et al.'s March paper that we should view large models "as a new kind of cultural and social technology, allowing humans to take advantage of information other humans have accumulated."

Maybe we need to build a taste-based vocabulary for LLM benchmarks. We have all sorts of terms to describe how art, music, food, etc. make use *feel*. But with LLMs were stuck with "vibes".
