The article examines how AI‑assisted item generation is filtered by a computational evaluator before expert review, focusing on representation, structural screening, and candidate‑form dependence. Through two in‑silico studies of 32,000 Big Five items, the authors show that subtle differences in semantic representation and structural evaluation lead to divergent item selections, even when overall content coverage appears stable. The findings reveal that the evaluator, often treated as a neutral technical step, actually shapes the evidence and wording that psychometricians ultimately review, highlighting its role as a revisable component of measurement design.

The paper introduces a dual‑dimensional framework called Automated Item Similarity Analysis (AISA) that uses Large Language Models to assess incidental content similarity in large‑scale assessments. It combines Structured Decomposition and Semantic Relatedness to capture both structural and semantic nuances that traditional metrics miss. Psychometric validation shows that LLM‑derived metrics better align with construct‑irrelevant local dependence and produce more coherent item groupings, and simulations in Computerized Adaptive Testing demonstrate improved estimation stability and reduced bias with minimal efficiency loss.
