No it’s: evaluating these systems are complex and there’s a reason why sociology, cognitive psychology, medicine, etc are all done in careful double blind conditions with pre registered tests. It’s not that humans are not smart enough, as I said human evaluations are incredibly important. And yet they are a minefield of biases you have to worry about and correct for.

- evaluations need to be done at the same time to avoid drift in your bias

- you need to worry about your test set: which questions are you asking? How many of them? Are they representative of your work?

- which one did you do first? Raters have a tendency to bias in one direction or another

- you also know the label! You know which model is which! This biases your assessment…

And on and on and on. Careful science exists for a reason.
