WITHDRAWN: Alignment-Induced Flattening in Large Language Models: A 33-Item Reading Comprehension Measure of Atypical Perspective-Taking Across Five Model Families

2026-02-17

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Large Language Models (LLMs) fine-tuned with Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) are known to exhibit pro-social biases in their outputs <sup>4,5</sup> . We hypothesise that this alignment process produces a measurable artefact in narrative interpretation: <bold>alignment-induced flattening</bold> , whereby models systematically favour empathetic, romantic, or morall...
