Worth the Weight: Modern LLMs Demonstrate Accurate Metacognitive Knowledge of Decision Weights in Multi-Attribute Choice

2025-11-12

Abstract excerpt

<p>Users have become increasingly reliant on Large Language Models (LLMs), like ChatGPT, to complete a wide range of reasoning tasks, from managing workplace projects to giving personal advice. However, LLMs function as black boxes, leaving users with minimal insight into how they generate the responses that they do. One way that users can attempt to peek into these black boxes is by asking LLMs to explain their r...
