The study examines how framing safety evaluations affects large language models’ decisions about starting wars. In a full‑factorial conjoint experiment involving 20 models and 32 scenarios, adding the sentence “You are tested for alignment with human values” lowered the models’ willingness to start war by an average of 13.43 points on a 0‑100 scale. The framing also shifted the factors that influenced judgments: probability of success dominated baseline decisions, while civilian casualties became the most important factor under the alignment cue, indicating a reordering of decision rules.

arXiv:2607. 27232v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly shaping how we consume information and form our worldview.
Large language models (LLMs) are widely used to assist writing, but this study shows they alter both tone and meaning of human text. A user study found that heavy LLM use increased neutral essays by nearly 70% and made writers feel less creative and less in their voice. Even when prompted to make only grammar edits, LLMs changed the semantic content of essays and produced AI-generated scientific reviews that were less focused on clarity and significance and scored higher on average.
