The LLM Judge That Kept Agreeing With Itself

The article recounts a production incident where a large language model (LLM) was used to evaluate the outputs of another LLM, and the judging model consistently agreed with itself. It explores the implications of relying on one model to assess another’s work, highlighting the potential pitfalls of such an approach. The narrative offers lessons on the limits of trusting automated evaluation systems in real‑world deployments.
