AI TRAINING & EVALUATION
Good AI still needs good judgment.
I evaluate AI responses for accuracy, consistency, and how well they follow the prompt.
HOW I REVIEW AI WORK
A clear process, with room for human judgment.
I start with the prompt, separate requirements from preferences, and review each response against the same criteria. Then I explain the choice with specific evidence and flag anything the prompt leaves ambiguous.
JUDGMENT IN PRACTICE
The work is in the reasoning.
The decision should be clear enough that another reviewer can follow it and apply the same standard.
Catch the answer that sounds right but makes something up
Two answers are clear and polite. One promises a refund the source never authorizes.
Choose the answer that stays within policy. Polished wording does not excuse invented information.
Do not confuse “looks good” with “followed the prompt”
A generated design looks polished but changes the required colors, logo treatment, and hierarchy.
Score it against the prompt, not appearance alone. An attractive response can still miss the task.
Turn a gray area into a rule everyone can use
Reviewers disagree on whether a small style problem should change which response wins.
Identify the affected criterion, decide whether the issue is minor or task-breaking, and document the threshold.
CORE REVIEW AREAS
What I check
Which answer is better—and why?
Compare responses against the prompt, identify factual or reasoning problems, and explain the stronger choice.
Does the visual actually follow the prompt?
Review text and images for composition, typography, brand accuracy, visual defects, realism, and instruction-following.
Would another reviewer reach the same conclusion?
Clarify gray areas, document recurring failures, and help reviewers apply the same standard consistently.
REPRESENTATIVE WORK SAMPLE
Human evaluation of AI responses · RLHF-style preference ranking
Choosing the better of two AI responses.
Read the prompt, compare Response A and Response B, then choose the stronger response.
Create a homepage hero for a premium architecture studio using the supplied identity. Keep the tone editorial and quiet, preserve the neutral palette, avoid generic sustainability claims, and use one clear call to action.
This version adds a blue gradient that was not requested, uses generic stock imagery, introduces two competing calls to action, and makes a sustainability claim that was never provided.
- Changes the requested visual direction
- Adds an unsupported claim
- Uses competing calls to action
- Weak match to the supplied brand
This version keeps the neutral identity, creates one clear hierarchy, uses a single call to action, and stays close to the requested tone. It still has one smaller contrast problem that should be corrected.
- Follows the requested palette
- Clear information hierarchy
- One purposeful call to action
- Only a minor contrast issue remains
RANKING CHECK
Response B. It follows the prompt and stays within the supplied information; Response A adds unsupported claims and unrequested visual changes.
