arXiv:2605. 03217v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in settings that require nuanced ethical reasoning, yet existing bias evaluations treat model outputs as simply "biased" or "unbiased.

The paper introduces a pragmatics-inspired taxonomy for evaluating how large language models (LLMs) refuse unsafe or inappropriate requests. By applying this framework to 16 modern LLMs across 14 harm categories, the authors find that while refusals are generally explicit and morally charged, they often lack interpersonal facework and instead offer safer alternatives, which can be problematic in sensitive contexts. The study argues for alignment evaluations that assess not just whether LLMs refuse, but how they do so in a contextually adaptive and socially responsible manner.
