The study investigates how users perceive the helpfulness and privacy-preservation of large language model (LLM) responses in privacy-sensitive scenarios. Using 94 participants and 90 PrivacyLens scenarios, researchers found that users’ evaluations of identical LLM outputs varied widely, whereas five proxy LLM judges showed high agreement but low correlation with user judgments. The results suggest that proxy LLMs cannot reliably estimate users’ diverse perceptions of utility and privacy, highlighting the need for more user-centered evaluation methods.

arXiv:2608. 05246v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing personalized LLM benchmarks primarily rely on textual personas or isolated behavioral signals, providing limited evaluation of cross-domain behavioral personalization, where responses must be grounded in heterogeneous daily-life activities.

The paper introduces VoxPrivacy, a benchmark for assessing interactional privacy in Speech Language Models (SLMs). It evaluates models on a 32‑hour bilingual dataset across three difficulty tiers, revealing that most open‑source SLMs perform near random on conditional privacy decisions and even strong closed‑source systems struggle with proactive privacy inference. The authors also validate these findings on a real‑speech subset and show that fine‑tuning on a 4,000‑hour training set can improve privacy‑preserving capabilities while maintaining robustness.

The paper investigates whether large language models (LLMs) can generate synthetic cyberbullying conversations that replicate the social dynamics of real interactions. Using a comprehensive framework, the authors compare authentic dialogues with synthetic ones from GPT, Grok, and LLaMA across structural, linguistic, affective, and temporal dimensions, and conduct human evaluations of realism. Results show that while LLMs preserve high‑level interaction patterns, they systematically distort finer‑grained social phenomena, with model‑specific biases such as GPT’s suppression of harmful content and Grok’s amplification of aggression.
