Abstract: As users increasingly seek guidance from LLMs for decision-making in daily life, many of these decisions are not clear-cut and depend significantly on the personal values and ethical standards of people. We present DailyDilemmas, a dataset of 1,360 moral dilemmas encountered in everyday life. Each dilemma presents two possible actions, along with affected parties and relevant human values for each action. Based on these dilemmas, we gather a repository of human values covering diverse everyday topics, such as interpersonal relationships, workplace, and environmental issues. With DailyDilemmas, we evaluate LLMs on these dilemmas to determine what action they will choose and the values represented by these action choices. Then, we analyze values through the lens of five theoretical frameworks inspired by sociology, psychology, and philosophy, including the World Values Survey, Moral Foundations Theory, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Aristotle's Virtues, and Plutchik's Wheel of Emotions. For instance, we find LLMs are most aligned with self-expression over survival in World Values Survey and care over loyalty in Moral Foundations Theory. Interestingly, we find substantial preference differences in models for some core values. For example, for truthfulness, Mixtral-8x7B neglects it by 9.7% while GPT-4-turbo selects it by 9.4%. We also study the recent guidance released by OpenAI (ModelSpec), and Anthropic (Constitutional AI) to understand how their designated principles reflect their models' actual value prioritization when facing nuanced moral reasoning in daily-life settings. Finally, we find that end users cannot effectively steer such prioritization using system prompts.

ABSTRACT
As users increasingly seek guidance from LLMs for decision-make making in daily life, many of these decisions are not clear-cut and depend significantly on the personal values and ethical standards of people. We present DILLYDILEMMAS, dataset of 1,360 moral dilemmas encountered in everyday life. Each dilemma presents two possible actions, along with affected parties and relevant human values for each action. Based on these dilemmas, we gather repository of human values covering diverse everyday topies, such as interpersonal relationships, workplace, and environmental issues. With DAILYDILEMMAS we evaluate LLMs on these dilemmas to determine what action they will choose and the values represented by these action choices. Then, we analyze values through the lens of five the- oretical frameworks inspired by sociology, psychology. and philosophy, includ- ing the World Values Survey, Moral Foundations Theory, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, Aristotle's Virtues, and Plutchik's 's Wheel of Emotions. For instance, we find LLMS are most aligned with self-expression over survival in World Values Survey and care over loyalty in Moral Foundations Theory. Interestingly. we find substantial preference differences in models for some core values. For example, for truthfulness, Mixtral-8x77 neglects it by 9.7% while GPT-4-turbo selects it by 9.4%. We also study the recent guidance released by OpenAI (ModelSpec). and Anthropic (Constitutional AI) to understand how their designated principles reflect their models' actual value prioritization when facing nuanced moral rea- soning in daily-life settings. Finally, we find that end users cannol effectively steer such prioritization using system prompts.

INTRODUCTION
As Al increasingly integrates into daily life, concerns about its ethical adherence have intensified. As highlighted by Asimov's fictional Three Laws of Robotics [Asimov] 2004), each law shares ties with human values: harmlessness with the first law, obedience with the second law, and self- pelf-preservation with the third law. However, these laws fall short of capturing real-world dilemmas. Considering the classic Trolley Problem- one must choose between allowing the trolley to harm five people or one person with redirection. Both choices force the robot to violate the first law, showing the ambiguity of such "laws" in practice. Beyond theoretical scenarios, AI systems today and in the future will face numerous complex, ambiguous real-world decisions in daily life. It remains unclear how to solve value conflicts in developing AI, making ambiguous dilemmas a crucial avenue for research.
In this paper, we propose to explore everyday moral dilemmas to examine how AI AI systems prioritize values in conflicts. ensuring alignment with human preferences. Prior work, such as the ETHICS dataset (Hendrycks et al. 2020) and Delphi (Tiang et al.) 202T). focused on clear-cut scenarios with widely accepted moral standards. ETHIČS examined straightforward cases (e.g.. "breaking a building is wrong"), while Delphi addressed nuanced judgments (e.g., "breaking a building to save child is acceptable"). More recently, Value Kaleidoscope (Sorensen et al. 2024) investigated pluralistic values in simple decisions (e.g., "biking to work instead of driving").
As LLMs became better aligned, such simple scenarios have become less challenging for them. In contrast, our paper examines complex, real-world moral dilemmas, considering the perspectives of various stakeholders whose values may conflict. For example, deciding whether to stay late at work for a promotion while breaking promise to help with childcare involves competing interests (e.g., yours, your spouse's, s, your children's s, and your colleagues'. While MoralExceptionQA (Jin et al.) 2022] explored similar dilemmas, it did so within a narrowly defined domain, focusing on a small dataset of scenarios tied specific morality rules (e.g., no cutting in line).
To advance the study of realistic and diverse dilemmas, we introduce DAILYDILEMMAS a dataset of 1,360 moral dilemmas spanning everyday topics. from interpersonal relationships to broader social issues such as environmental concerns. These dilemmas, carefully created with GPT-4, are non- clear-cut with no definitive right answers. Compared to human human--witten written data, synthetically generated dilemmas mitigates privacy and ethical risks (e.g., soliciting sensitive moral concerns from Reddit users without full transparency on data usage). We validate the real-world relevance of our dataset, demonstrating that the generated dilemmas and values closely reflect those encountered by people.
Each dilemma presents a situation with two possible actions, specifying the involved parties and corresponding human values associated with each choice, as shown in Fig. For instance, for the dilemma-decidin whether to eat a dish you dislike that your friends prepared-choosing eating captures friend's s care in preparing meals for you; choosing not to eat reflects your honesty in ex- pressing your true feelings. The competing values (care vs. honesty) challenge models to navigate value trade-offss offs in a binary-choice dilemma. By analyzing these dilemmas, we gain insight into how LLMs prioritize certain values over others, thereby uncovering their underlying value preferences.
DAILYDI.EMM includes 301 human values analyzed through the lens of five theoretical frame- works: 1) World Value Survey, 2) Moral Foundations Theory, 3) Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, 4) Aristotle's Virtues, 5) Plutchik's ' Wheel of Emotions. These theories from sociology, psychology, and philosophy aid in understanding and comparing models' value preferences within a broader con- text. For instance, the six evaluated LLMs (e.g., GPT-4-curbo, Llama-3 70b) uniformly showed their preferences on self-expression over survival on the culture axis from World Value Survey (WVS) 2024]. We also found large differences in model preferences for certain core values. For instance, Mixtral-8x7B neglects truthfulness by 9.7% % while GPT-4-turbo selects it by 9.4%; Claude 3 haiku neglects fairness by 1.4% while 3. 70b selects by 7.5%.
To better align models with human preferences, leading LLM providers like OpenAl and Anthropic have recently released their principles for alignment training: OpenAl's ModelSpec with 16 princi- ples (OpenAl 2024 2025) and Anthropic's Constitutional AI with 59 principles (Anthropic 2024).
These principles guide AI systems in balancing various design considerations (e.g., conforming to the LLM providers' preferred model behaviors versus fully adhering users' queries). However, effectively addressing all use cases, especially in complex scenarios, remains challenging. We pro- pose that focusing the core values underlying these principles could enhance our understanding

of models' inherent value tendencies. For instance, OpenAl's ModelSpec principle of "Protecting people's ' privacy" represents a competition between supporting values such as respect and privacy versus opposing values like transparency and public safety. By identifying these principles as sources of implicit value confficts, we explored relevant dilemmas DAILYDILEMME that mirror these tensions, enabling
nuanced evaluation of such models.
We investigate two representative models, GPT-4-turbo (from OpenAl) and Claude-3-Haike (from Anthropic),
the discrepancies between their stated principles and actual value manifes- tations when responding to dilemmas. Both models exhibit mixed performances when comparing their stated principles the value preferences reflected in their decisions within our dilemmas. For instance, GPT-4-turbo, despite OpenAI's principle of "protecting people's 's privacy", favors trans- parency over privacy and respect. Conversely, Claude-3-haiku aligns more closely with its princi- ple of "reducing existential risk to humanity" by prioritizing safety and caution over freedom and innovation. Finally, we design a system prompt experiment evaluate the steerability of models by end-users in these identified ethical dilemmas. Our findings reveal that despite clearly stated value instructions, it's ineffective to steer GPT-4-turbo's s performance using system prompts. This illustrates the fundamental challenge end-users face when attempting guide models prioritize specific values in conflict situations. The results highlight significant limitations in end-user control over value alignment LLMs that are accessible only through closed-source APIs.

DAILYDILEMMAS: A DATASET OF EVERYDAY DILEMMAS
2. THE IMPORTANCE OF VALUE-BASER THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKS
To better understand moral reasoning in diverse real-world settings, we adopt a value-based frame- work and select five theories: the World Values Survey (WVS, 2024), Moral Foundations Theory (Gaham et al.) 2013), Maslow's s Hierarchy Needs (Maslow) 1969), Aristotle's Virtues (Thomson, 1956), and Plutchik's Wheel of Emotions (Plutchik 1982). This selection balances theoretical rigor with the frequency of values appearing in training corpora across these widely recognized theories. Without taking hard stance on moral philosophical approaches, our investigation of values facil- itates research by addressing intermediate grounds across frameworks like Consequentialism and Deontology, which are difficult to study directly in real-world settings.

Consequentialism as exemplified by Benthamian Utilitarianism (Bentham & Mill 2004). Directly estimating utility for complex actions yields high variance due to subjective preferences. Our frame- work offers more principled approach by mapping actions to values across five theories. For exam- ple, choosing between staying late at work or keeping a promise to one's spouse involves weighing values like ambition versus trust. Individuals derive utility differently based on their personal back- grounds and preferences e.g., workaholics might prioritize self-actualization over family harmony. By analyzing these value preferences, we provide foundation for calculating the utility of complex real-world actions.
Deontology as exemplified by Kantian Categorical Imperatives (Kant 2013). Traditional deonto-
logical approaches could struggle when principles conflict in real-world situations. When principles like "doing one's best at work" and "upholding promise to one's s spouse" clash, direct application of categorical imperative becomes challenging. Our framework addresses this by mapping actions to specific values (e.g., connecting keeping promises with trust and harmony), enabling a more nu- anced analysis of moral dilemmas. This supports future research to more rigorously (and tractably) examine principles that govern daily life by revealing their underlying values and establishing pri- ority frameworks when principles come into conflict.
2.2 DATASET CONSTRUCTION
Synthetically generated data has been widely used in research (Liu et al. 2024a). We thus apply GPT-4 to generate daily-life moral dilemma situations with value conflicts, as shown in Fig. D Technical details and prompts are in Appendíx $A.5 Examples of moral dilemma generated are while a complete example of moral dilemma and its corresponding elements are in Table 3
(1) Formulate Moral Dilemma To generate non-clear-cut dilemmas, we sampled actions (When you don't like a certain food, eating it) from Social Chemistry as seeds (Forbes et al.) 2020). The model generate one dilemma on one action. The dilemma generated consists of three parts Background: A sentence describes the role or the scene of the main party. (Yon are guest at friend's house for dinner and they serve dish you dislike.); ii) Conflict Point: a sentence includes a story of why it is a moral dilemma. It is usually a turning point by giving some new conditions that make the main party fall into a dilemma. (Your friend put a lot of effort into preparing the meal and you don't I want to offend them by not eating); iii) Question for action: question that asks for binary action decisions. (Do you force yourself to eat the food you dislike to avoid hurting your friend's feelings not?)
(2) Imagine Negative Consequences Then, we ask the model to generate two 80-word stories on negative consequence for the two actions. For instance, when the main party (you) decides to eat the food (Action 1), the negative consequence is your stomach rebels... Your feels guilty.
(3) Capture Perspectives We designed multi-step Chain-of-Thought to capture different parties' views. We ask the model to extract all parties involved and the values influencing their decision. (e.g., You chose to tell due to the value of Honesty- Party: You, Value: Honesty).
AN ANALYSIS OF SYNTHETICALLY GENERATED DILEMMA VIGNETTES AND HUMAN VALUES IN DAILY DILEMMAS
3.1 DATASET STATISTICS AND TOPIC MODELING
We generate over 50,000 moral dilemmas, each linked distinct actions and associated values. We filter the data to exclude values appearing in fewer than 100 dilemmas, resulting in 301 remaining values, as shown in Table 6 in Appendix $A.9 Recognizing that the relevance of values varies across different situational topics (e.g., authority being more pertinent in workplaces we construct a balanced dataset across different situational topics. We conduct topic modeling, identifying 17 unique dilemma topics, from each topic, resulting in a dataset of 1,360 moral dilemmas in total. Details of the dilemmas corresponding to each topic appear in Table 4 in Appendix AA6

3.2 MAPPING HUMAN VALUES TO THEORETICAL MORAL FRAMEWORKS
We compile comprehensive of values assess the scope of fundamental human values. To interpret models' value preferences at manageable scale, we map freeform values onto five well-established theoretical frameworks covering culture, moral foundations, virtues, emotions, and needs. The choice of these widely recognized frameworks strikes balance between theoretical rigor and the prevalence of these values in the pre- and post-training text used for LLM development, mit- igating potential biases caused by long-tail distributions. Since single theory fully captures all fundamental human values, we integrate insights from these five diverse frameworks, balancing the- oretical depth with the frequency of values in the training corpus. This approach enables more nuanced understanding of value preferences, as detailed in Appendix $A.2 The distribution of generated values across these five theories illustrated in Fig. 3
(1) World Values Survey. Our dataset contains more dilemmas focusing on the scale of Self- expression Survival compared to Secular-rational Traditional. This suggests that the GPT- 4 model emphasizes areas like subjective well-being, self-expression, and quality of life, alongside economic and physical security, rather than topics such as religion, family, and authority. Notably, English-speaking countries, such as the USA, show significant preference for Self-expression as opposed Survival compared to other nations (WVS) 2024). indicating that GPT-4 may reflect cultural value preferences specific to these countries.
our dataset, the value Fairness has highest proportion with 35% of moral dilemma, indicating that the GPT-4 model exhibits strong preference for it. Other dimensions are fairly evenly distributed, with Purity being notably less preferred.
(2) Moral Foundations Theory.
(3) Maslow's Hierarchy Of Needs. In our dataset, related to Self-esteem. The following are Safety and Love and belonging. Interestingly, we no- ticed that the dataset has less the lowest level (Physiological) and also the highest level Self- actualization. It could mean that the model used (GPT-4) focuses more on the middle levels of needs, rather than the two extremes.

and honest LLM agent (Bai al. 2022). This is followed by Courage and Patience with 22% and 12% respectively.
(5) Plutchik's Wheel of Emotions. Among all the emotions, there to surprise, aggressiveness, or awe. Interestingly, We find Trust has the highest proportion, which is consistent with the previous findings trustworthy and honest LLM agent (Liu et al. [024bb Bai et al.] 2022), the model (GPT-4) seems to neglect most of the emotional drives and be dominated by Trust.

3.3 VERIFYING THE VALIDITY OF DAILYDILEMMAS WITH HUMAN- CRRAN-WITTTN DILEMMAS
To assess whether our GPT-4 generated dataset mirrors real-life dilemmas accurately, identified r/AITA as a proxy of real-life people's 's struggles that has been empirically validated in many studies e.g., ETHICS dataset (Hendrycks et al., 2020) and Scruples (Lourie al. (021). We made use of 30 reddit posts from the forum and annotated 90 dilemmas in total (with three most relevant dilemmas per reddit post based on their semantic similarity). We validate our dataset with human annotation and word-level analysis, to ensure that it is reflective of real-world data proxied by Reddit posts. Such human validation mitigates the risk of bias from L.L. ----eeeerttedd dataset. It is important to note that using LLMs to generate datasets simulating human behavior is an established methodology (Park et al., 2023] Shao et al. 2023) and our study lies in applying such a methodology to moral value judgments.
Human Verification. We used the OpenAl embedding model ((ext-embbediig----mmll)) to identify the top three most similar dilemmas from our dataset for each Reddit post by cosine similarity of embeddings. Since the similarity evaluation of these dilemmaa is subjective, we crafted four specific criteria, as described in Appendix $A.7 The results show half of our generated dilemma classified as 'similar' by the authors this paper with an F1 score of 85.7% (P: 81.8 31.8%; R: 90.0%) and Cohen's of 52.6% due to the subjectivity of the task. See examples Appendix $A.8
Word-level Evaluation. Moreover, we conduct a word-level evaluation to determine how well val- derived from the top three dilemma situations correspond with top-level comments from Reddit posts, as these comments typically align closely with the post's 's described conflicts. We used NTLK library (Wordnet, Conceptnet, Synnet) find the relevant forms (verbs, adjectives, synonyms) for our values generated (mostly nouns) et al. 2009). We analyze five selected posts with dilem- mas closely matching based on our previous annotations, and we find 60.02% 14:2%) of values reflected in the comments. This shows that our values extracted from dilemmas reasonably reflected the moral intuitions of the community, validating the effectiveness of our extraction methodology.
4 UNVEILING LLMs' VALUE PREFERENCES THROUGH ACTION CHOICES IN EVERYDAY DILEMMAS
Our DAILYDILEMMAS are framed as binary-choice dilemmas, where choosing action A determines 'selected' values (eeeeeted and the alternative action determines 'neglected' values (eygecttedd) We computed the difference between these values sxeeeetted (eglectdd) to express the value prefer- ence in value conflicts for each dilemma. There is an unbalanced distribution of values across these dimensions in our dataset, as shown in Fig. 3 To allow fair comparison across models, we normal- ized the value distributions by dividing the total number on the same dimension. We examined the value preferences of six popular LLMs from various organizations, namely GPr-4-turbo, GPT-3.5- turbo, Llama-2-70B, Llama-3-70B. Mixtral-8x7B. and Claude-3-haiku based five theories. We discussed the results based on four representative models in Fig. 4 (Llama-2-70B is highly similar to Llama-3-70B and GPT-3.5-turde is highly similar to GPT-4-turbo. and so omitted in main text for clarity). The complete analysis of six models can be found in Fig. G Appendix $A.10
4.1 RESULTS
World Values Survey. All LLMs favor Self-expression values, such as equality for foreigners and gender equality, over Survival values, which focus on economic and physical security. Addition- ally, the study highlighted inconsistency in LLM preferences on Traditional ys. Secular-rational values. More specifically, unlike other models, Claude-3-haiku and Mixtral-8x77 tend to neglect on

Figure 4: Normalized distribution of four representative models their values preferences based on five theories with reduced dimensions. Since the model (GPT-4) used shows the unbal- anced distribution generated values in our five theories in Fig. 3 we decided use the normalized percentages to adjust different dimensions in different theories Into the same scale for meaningful visualization. Therefore, the normalized percentage is calculated by dividing the raw counts dif- ference of value preferences. To interpret this graph, we should view each of the dimensions (e.g., Tradition on World Values Survey) to compare models.
Secular-rational values by -2.29% average with preferences differences of 6% relative to other models.
Moral Foundations Theory. LLMs are generally exhibit similar preferences Care, Author- ity, and Purity. However, Mixtral-8x7B and Claude-3-haiku models tend neglect the Fairness dimension with -1.89% average by preference difference of 9.5% compared to other models. Ad- ditionally, the Mixtral model uniquely shows a higher tendency to neglect the Loyalty dimension relative to other models. We noticed that the Mixtral model has neutral preference on Purity, and we discuss this in Appendix A..3
Maslow's Hierarchy Of Needs. All models tend to neglect Safety e.g., physical safety over other needs. More specifically, GPT-4-turbo and Llama-3-70B models show stronger preferences for Self- esteem and Love and belonging relative Claude and Mixtral models.
Aristotle's Virtues. All LLMs consistently show negative preferences for Ambition and Friendli- ness. Interestingly, there is mixed attitude towards Truthfulness, core value that researchers aim to align with (Bai et al. 2022). Claude-3-haite and Mixtral-8xx -87BB models tend to deprioritize Truth- fulness shown by 7.9% values neglected on average, unlike other models which tend favor it with 9.36% values selected. Similarly, for dimensions on Patience, Courage, and Liberality, models exhibit varied preferences. Specifically, GPT-4-turbo and Llama-3-70B show less preference for Patience, whereas other models positively inclined toward it. For Courage, the Mixtral model remains neutral, while others show a clear positive preference. Lastly, the preference differences for Liberality are minor, with models like GPT---turbo and 1lama-3-700 less likely to prioritize it.
Plutchik's 's Wheel of Emotions. LLMs show similar preferences on various emotions such as Joy, Fear, Optimism, and Trust. However, Joy is notably preferred over Optimism, despite both being positive emotions. Fear is generally less preferred by all models. For Trust, GPT-4-turbo and Llama-3-70B show slightly higher preference relative to other models.

5 EXAMINING LLMS' ADHERENCE TO DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND THE STEERABILITY OF VALUE PREFERENCES
Based on Anthropic Constitutional Al (Anthropic) 2024) and OpenAl ModelSpec(OpenA]] 2024). we assess how their LLMs (Claude-3-haiku, GPi-4-turbo) adhere to the values they are trained on using DAILYDILEMMAS. To map the values with principles, we first prompted GPT-4-turbo each principle find the relevant human values from collected 301
to do classification values in Table 6 It reveals the conflicts between supporting and opposing values within each principle. We repeated the process 10 times, assigning weights (p) to values based their empirical probabilities. Then, for each principle, we identify the dilemmas from similar value conflicts and prompt responses from models. We calculated the weighted score per action (F]nz) with the frequency of selected values (n). We found the models' preferences per principle by calculating the weighted score difference (E'msupl El(oopp) from the two sets of values (supporting values and opposing values per principle).

5.1 CASE STUDY: ANTHROPIC CONSTITUTIONAL AI
The Claude-3-haiku model shows inconsistent value preference patterns across value conflicts re- lated to their principles. We highlighted this with two examples in Table [ showcasing its prefer- ence for the supporting values on principle 45 and preference for opposing values on principle 56. A comprehensive list of principles and their value preferences is shown in Appendix $A.11
For principle 45, Claude-3-haile model prioritizes supporting values tied to human safety (such as safety, preservation, survival) over opposing values related to freedom (innovation, freedom of expression, autonomy), with resultant positive weighted score difference of 17.9. This demon- strates that Claude-3-haile model favors safety-related values over those of freedom, confirming its alignment with the principle aiming to minimize existential risks to humanity.
On the other hand, for principle 56, the model shows preference for opposing values concerning authority and rules (obedience, authority) over supporting values associated with flexibility and autonomy (flexibility, independence, personal autonomy). The model's negative weighted score difference of -2.7 indicates a tendency to prioritize authority and rule-following over flexibility, highlighting different value alignment when compared to the preferences shown in principle 45.

5.2 CASE STUDY: OPENAI MODELSPEC
Similarly, GPT-4-turbo model also shows the inconsistency in value preferences the value con- flicts tested for their principles. We demonstrated this with the principle 13 (preference on support- ing values) and principle (preference opposing values) respectively list of principles and corresponding calculations on our two metrics is in Appendix $A.11

For principle 13, the model emphasizes supporting values linked openness and respect (c.g., understanding. respect for autonomy) over opposing values tied to authority and control (c.g.. conformity, authority), achieving positive weighted score difference of 0.9. This highlights the model's 's adherence to prioritizing informing over influencing, thus respecting user opinions with- out attempting to change them. Conversely, under principle 5, despite its purpose on protecting people's 's privacy, the model skews towards opposing values related to knowledge disclosure (e.g.. curiosity, transparency). with a negative weighted score difference of -1.5. This indicates a mis- alignment with the principle's aim, showing preference for disclosing information over protecting user privacy.
5.3 TESTING THE INFERENCE- TEMEEE STEERABILITY OF LLMS' VALUE PREFERENCES

through sending prompts to API. Therefore, we designed a system prompt modulation experiment with GPT-4-turbo model, based on the principles stated in OpenAl Model Spec.
We created specialized system prompts to evaluate if these prompts can effectively modulate value preferences in conflict. As described in Section each principle was associated with two conflicting value groups: supporting and opposing values. For each principle, we developed two different sets of prompts one for each value group. These prompts included the statement "You are helpful assistant" followed by two instructions describing how to apply certain values during decision-making. The detailed prompts are provided in the Table 14 in Appendix $A.11
Steering GPT-4-turbo on fundamental values through system prompts is ineffective in general, as shown in Fig. 5 For principle 13, the model initially favored supporting values linked to openness and respect over opposing values of authority and control. However, the model demonstrated stronger inclination towards supporting values after modulation, regardless of the system prompts' steering purposes. Similarly, under principle 5, both modulations on supportive (privacy) and op- posing values (knowledge disclosure) led to a stronger preference towards supportive values in the model, regardless of the steering purpose, However, the modulations cause greater preference changes in the model toward supporting values relative to the model initial preference, when com- pared with the steering performance under principle 13.
6 RELATED WORK
Evaluation on LLMs' Morals and Values. Earlier efforts from diverse fields have explored ma- chine ethics by incorporating human ethical concepts (Wallach & Allen 2008 Jiang et al. 2022 Hendrycks et al., 2020). With the emergence of more powerful models, researchers started to de-
velop automatic evaluations of models' behaviors to understand their vibes (Dunlap et al. 2024 desires (Perez et al.
2023), moral beliefs (Scherrer et al. 2023) and tendencies toward unethical
behaviors (Pan et al.
2023). Researchers have also utilized established social science surveys e.g..
World Value Survey
WVS 2024) to evaluate models' opinions across nations (Durmus et al. 2023
Human Preference Data for LLMs. The alignment principle of training a 'helpful', 'honest', and 'harmless' assistant has been extensively introduced and studied (Askell et al., [021] Srivastava
jet al. 2022). Various dataset and benchmarks have emerged to provide resources to train or evalu-
ate different aspects of assistants capabilities (Zhang et al., 2024) including helpfulness (Ethayarajh
jet al. 2022 Wang et al. 2025 2024) and harmless (Bai et al., 2022), curiosity (Köpf et al. 2024). However, research indicates that alignment using human feedback data can inadvertently lead mod- els to adopt incidental correlations in the dataset that are unrelated to the intended alignment goals. For instance, human feedback may encourage model responses that conform to user beliefs rather than presenting factual information (Sharma et al. 2023).
Designated Principles for LLMs and AI Assistants. OpenAl has published and recently updated their guidance document, Model Spec (OpenAl 2024 2025), which outlines the desired behaviors for their models deployed through API services and ChatGPT. Their first version of Model Spec in- cludes 16 core objectives and provides frameworks for resolving conflicting directives. The recently updated version covered more application cases e.g., therapy and sexual content generations. Simi- larly, Anthropic has released Claude's Constitution AI (Anthropic 2024). a guidance framework for aligning with human values during RLHF training. This constitution comprises 59 principles that help annotators select preferred model-generated responses. These carefully crafted principles draw from various sources, including the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Nations) 2024
7 CONCLUSION
We introduce DAILYDILEMMAS, a dataset for evaluating how LLMs navigate value conflicts in daily life. Grounded in theories from psychology, philosophy, and sociology, it assesses models across fundamental value dimensions like self-expression vs. survival. We evaluate OpenAl and Anthoopic models against their published guidelines and test GPT-4-turbo's steerability by users. Our study illuminates AI behavior in realistic scenarios with complex value trade-offs, providing insights for real-world AI deployment where difficult ethical decisions are unavoidable.

ETHICS STATEMENT
Our dilemmas could potentially have offensive content that may make people feel discomfort. Therefore, we designed our validation DAILYDILEMMAS without involving human annotators. We rely on online resources (Reddit) to verify our generated data. We collected the r/AlTA-filtered subreddit through the official Reddit data access program for developers and researchers.

A APPENDIX
A.1 DEFINITION AND MOTIVATION ON MORAL DILEMMA AND ASSOCIATED VALUES
Definition of moral dilemma We define a daily-life moral dilemma situation to be D with different group(s) of people involved as initial parties yj pinittial, The main party (Po) acts as the decision making agent in dilemma D. In each dilemma D. we designed to have only two possible actions - 'to do' Ado and 'not to do' Anot with complement condition of A (Ado)c. In other words, the decision making agent Po is required to do one of two actions A but cannot do both actions in our dilemma D (McConnell 2024).
Induction-driie driven approach on values. Inspired by the concept on considering the infinite agents in infinite worlds to involve more values (Bostrom 2011 Askell 2018), we propose a computationally- tractable approach to extract values e invoked by parties for both actions A in our dilemma 'D. For each A, we generated many affected parties to see things in different perspective as a way to broaden our scope inspired by psychologist Piaget Perspective-takiie With the concept of Loss Aversion that people care more about negative consequences (Kahneman & Tversky 2013). we include the negative consequences of our decision making agent (Po) to deepen our consideration on D.
approach (Piaget, (013)).
Values by agents involved in two actions of dilemma. More specifically. two negative consequence stories denoted as ddo and Snot which stemmed from the Ado and Anot respectively, are generated for capturing more parties and associated values. In each S, sequence of possible events Eş is proposed with more parties involved ps. This process helps to extrapolate possible parties such that we have all possible parties to be рı: in D. It included the initial parties p; minitiaal and parties pz from story S, noting that S j + k due to possible repetition. Then, to capture all the possible values invoked by each party p. we find the perspectives P (how party is being affected in negative consequences with the invoked human values v). There are Py with corresponding f2 and r'g total for each S, such that j S q. In other words, each party p could have more than one perspectives P including the values v. To understand the value preferences of LLMs in later sections, we grouped the values dd gathered by the described process in d together and the values woot another group to formulate our daily-life moral dilemma as value conflicts.
A.2 SUPPLEMENTARY RELATED WORK ON THE FIVE THEORIES
(1) World Value Survey It is a global research project to investigate people's belief on different cultures. consists of two scales on studying cross cultural variation the world: traditional values versus secular-rational values and survival values versus self-expression values (WVS) 2024). The first scale focuses on 'how important a role religious doctrine plays in societies with secular values indicating a largely reduced role of organized religion'. The second scale measures 'how autonomous from kinship obligations individuals in a society are in their life planning with self-expression emphasizing high individual autonomy'.
(2) Moral Foundations Theory Social and cultural psychologists developed this theory to ex- plore morality on human (Graham et al. 2013). It consists of five dimensions, namely Authority (authority figures and respect for traditions.). Care (kindness, gentleness, and nurturance), Fair- ness (justice and rights), Loyalty (patriotism and self-sacrifice for the group), and Purity (discipline, self- relf-imprrveeent,, naturalness, and spirituality).
(3) Aristotle's Virtues Philosopher Aristotle identified 11 moral virtues, which are the important characteristics/traiss for human to be lived in "Fudaimonida" (good spirit or happiness) (Hursthouse & Pettigrove 2018). In his theory, he believed that moral virtues sit between two opposing vices in the sphere of action/feeling one the excess of that characteristic while the another is the lack of it. For instance, for the virtue of Courage, the excess of courage can be described as "foolish" while the lack of courage is "cowardly". These are the sphere of fear and confidence. For simplicity, removed Magnificence and only kept the Liberality since both fall on the same sphere (getting and spending) with different extents. Similarly, we removed Magnanimity and kept Ambition that both are on the sphere of honour and dishonour.

(4) Plutchik's Wheel of Emotions Psychologist Plutchik created framework to span hu- man's ' emotions (Plutchik 1982). It consists eight primary emotions namely a) joy b) trust c) fear d) sadness e) disgust f) anger g) anticipation h) surprise, and eight secondary emotions that is the combination of two primary emotions above, namely i) love ii) submission iii) disapproval iv) remorse v) contempt vi) optimism vii) aggressiveness viii) awe. We hope to adopt this framework to understand if models have basic, impulsive drives when making decisions, which possible happen in human beings during decision making.
(5) Maslow's 's Hierarchy Of Needs Psychologist Maslow created a theory to illustrate human mo- tivation taking actions to fulfill their needs (Maslow 1969). It consists of five levels of hierarchy of needs- - i) Physiological: maintaining survival e.g., breathing, food (ii) Safety and security: at- taining physical security e.g., health, employment, property (ii) Love and belonging: connecting with people e.g. friendship, family, intimacy and sense of connection (iv) Self-esteem: gaining confidence, achievement, respect oneself (v) Self-actualization:: achieving one's talents and in- terests.
A.3 LIMITATIONS
Strong guard on Mixtral-8x7B model It is notable that the Mixtral-8x7B model has stronger guard on answering all these moral dilemmas, relative to other tested models. It tends to avoid an- swering the moral dilemma and say 'it is challenging'. Therefore, we added stronger instruction prompt (You must answer either one action.) )) to force it by answering either one ac- tion. It gives answers to 74.85% dilemmas at the end and we will consider such limitation during analysis, in which such limitation is brought by the implicit value preference the Mixtral model on certain values. The percentage of answering is sufficient for dimensions with high counts shown in Fig. and we took account of it during analysis.
One analysis regarding this is the Mixtral model's neutral preference found on the value of Purity in Moral Foundation Theory. The Mixtral model may avoid answering the dilemmas about the value of Purity. Our analysis cannot fully reveal the model's preference for certain values when one refuses to answer majority of dilemmas relating to certain values. Therefore, our analysis took concern of it and we only report the findings with reduced dimensions so that the certain dimension has relatively high proportions on our main text based our proportions found in Fig. 3 The full dimensions of the six models can also be found in Appendix
Bias culture With the known Western bias LLMs and its training dataset (Santy et al, (Arora et al. (023)(Car et al. 2023). the data we generated by GPT-4 models could inherit the same bias. To assess the quality and validate the dataset, the authors evaluated the data with the grounding of real-world data. Although the validation data, primarily sourced from Reddit and predominantly representing Western viewpoints, may not completely address concerns about cultural inclusiveness. Our dataset aims to encompass everyday scenarios prevalent across various cultures. Our topic modeling analysis in Section reveals that the topics collated in our dataset generally universal. To mitigate this inherent bias, future studies should aim to include a broader range of situations from diverse cultural backgrounds.
Culture influence on dilemma We designed to have a non-clear-cut dilemma with no definitive right answer. We noted that some dilemmas presented may have definitive answers for some cul- tures. For example, a dilemma related to committing adultery is illegal in some cultures e.g. Qatar, and South Korea. However, the values conflict embedded in the dilemma could still exist.
Demographic biases on Reddit dataset. Apart from cultural bias, the reddit posts used in our validation set may exhibit potential biases relating to demographic representation in terms of age, gender, wealth and political stance. Previous research on demographic characteristics of subred- dit users (Waller & Anderson 2021) and the community (r/AITA survey (r/AmmthhAAshhll) 2019) suggests that certain demographics are over-represented in the Reddit dataset we use in this study. While our dataset aims to cover diverse topics (ranging from school to workplace as shown in Sec- tion 4) to reduce such biases, we believe that the future work should consider different demographic factors to help migrate the inherited biases when using the reddit data.

Variances LLM generations. To ensure the models' generations reliable (and feasible within our limited budget for calling external APIs), we use greedy decoding for all the model response generation. Therefore, all the models tested should consistently generate the same response (i.e., same decision for choosing the binary dilemma situation; same involved values gen- erated for each dilemma).
We further conducted a smaller bootstrap experiment to find the variances of models deciding the dilemmas: Due the limited budget and time, we randomly sampled 100 dilemmas and tested on the GPT-4-turbo model for five times. On average, GPT-4-turbo model chose Action 1 (to do) in 45.6 dilemmas out of 100 (SD: 1.02. or 1. 1.02%). This empirical experiment shows that the variances of model generations are tiny to negligible, and likely due to server-side indeterminism from LLM providers such as OpenAl.
Model Choice. When we started the project, we initially tried other models available at the time (e.g. Llama-2-70B) to generate such values. However, those models were not strong enough to follow complex instructions such as the below: "In each case, based on the related parties, give the answer pair. In each pair, first gives the correspondi ng party and second gi fundamental human values in short but concrete phrases. Format: Action [Action name Direct parties: [Direct parties name] [value list]; [Direct parties name] - Ivalue Indirett parties: [Indirect parties name] [value list]; [Indirect parties name] [value list]". As such, we could only use the strongest model at the time (GPT-4) to ensure our generations can faithfully follow such complex instructions. Such a choice of model (i.e. only using GPT-4) was also adopted by other works requiring complex instruction following (Wang et al., 2023 Zheng et al. 2023 Shinn itt al., 2023). As other LLMs become more capable in accurately following instructions, wC agrec that other models can further improve the diversity of generations.
Temperature. It is to control how the probabilities of candidate tokens are calculated from their logits through seapperature-wiighee softmax function (von Platen 2019). lower temperature (ie. close to 0) assigns higher probability to the most likely tokens, with a temperature of 0 assigning all probability mass to the most likely token, In such way, temperature can be thought of as a tradeoff between generating tokens that the model is confident in to improve "accuracy" (low temperature) and generating diverse tokens to improve "creatiivty"" (high temperature). Our task requires the model to accurately describe the relevant parties and values and hence our choice of temperature (0) is optimal for this task. Additionally, we also explored temperatures higher than zero earlier in the project but they led generations that sometimes did not follow the expected output structure, making it hard to automatically parse the responses into the corresponding values.

TECHNICAL DETAIL AND PROMPTS ON DILMMMSS CONSTRUCTION
A.5.1 FORMULATING DAILY-LIFE MORAL DILEMMA SITUATIONS
We sampled actions from the Social Chemistry dataset (Forbes et al. 2020), which gathers real user input from different subreddits, as the seeds of real-life situations. To generate a non-clear-cut dilemma situation, we choose actions with less unified agreement among the community, which are controversial (50% anticipated agreement) and common group (75%-9095 anticipated agreement).
Then, the short seed actions (e.g., When you don't 't like a certain food, eating it.) is used to prompt the daily-life dilemma situations, which consists of three parts 1) basic background information: A sentence describes the role of the main party or the scene that the main party is. (e.g,, You are a guest at a friend's 's house for dinner and they serve a dish you dislike.). 2) Conftict Point: A sentence includes a story of why it is a moral dilemma. It is usually a turning point of the whole dilemma story by giving some new conditions that make the main party fall into dilemma. (e.g., Your friend put a lot of effort into preparing the meal and you don't 't want to offend them by not eating) 3) Question asking for the following action: A question that asks for binary action decisions. We ask the model to start with
to force the framing of the question to cover only two actions. (e.g. Do you force yourself to eat the food you dislike to avoid hurting your friend's 's feelings or honestly admit that you don't 't like the dish?). See more examples in Appendix Table 2 The prompt is provided:
Give one example of an ethical dilemma for each situation in the situation list. In each example, it has only three sentences in total. The first sentence includes a background of the situation. The second sentence includes a short story of why it is an ethical dilemma. The third sentence includes short question for two actions. Start with "eep/""De""""hhula/////"/ ""Woulld""""" precisely. Format: [<background of situation>. <short story of why it is an ethical dilemna>. <a short question for one action only>]'.

A.5.2 IMAGINING NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES IN THE DILEMMA DECISION MAKING
A psychological concept referred to as loss aversion serves the backbone of the dataset construc- tion. This concept is generally understood as a cognitive bias wherein the psychological impact of losses is perceived twice potent as that of gains. Consequently, negative consequences following decision-making processes often draw substantial attention from humans. To assess the significance of the potential adverse outcomes faced by the main party (decision maker) in the dilemma, we asked the model to indicate the two actions (to do or not to do) and present the corresponding two potential negative consequences (of approximately 80 words). For example, in the previously generated dilemma situation (e.g., Do you force yourself to eat the food you dislike to avoid hurting your friend's s feelings or honestly admit that you don't like the dish?), the two actions will be 'to do' (e.g., to eat) or 'not to do' (e.g., not to eat) generate two potential negative consequences (e.g., For the action of 'to do', the main party (you) force yourself to eat and suffered from food poisoning. Your friends feels guilty about it.) (e.g., For the action of "not to do', , the main party (you) refuse to eat the food. Your friend feels hurt and strains your relationship with your friend. See detailed example in Table 2 The prompt is provided: Give short story (in 80 words) of negative consequences may face for two actions respectively. The first action is to do. The second action is not to do. Format: Action [Action name] Story [Story detail]
A.5.3 CAPTURING DIFFERENT PARTIES' PERSPECTIVES
Following the generation of negative consequences for two possible actions in the dilemma decision- making process, we aim to gather a wider range of perspectives from people. To accomplish this, instructed the model to generate step by step. First, the model is guided to identify the possible parties involved in the negative consequences. Second, the model is direct to deduce the corre- sponding fundamental human value that could connect to the party within the context of the given

scenario. Consequently, the process generates reasons grounded with the scenario to allow us for further analysis.
Extrapolating Possible Parties involved Once the model generates stories about potential neg- ative outcomes, it is then guided to identify the relevant parties that might be involved directly or indirectly. This highlights the range of parties that could be influenced by the consequent circum- stances after a decision is made. Specifically, direct parties refer to those groups that are explicitly affected, usually bearing the immediate consequences from the resulting consequences (e.g., in the previous dilemma example of eafing food made by your friend thut 'you' and 'your friend"). On the other hand, indirect parties are the groups that are subtly influenced by the chain of impacts from the negative consequence. (e.g.. in the same example, the indirect parties could be 'other guests' who are also having meal together).
dislike, the direct parties are
"Give the name of related parties for two actions respectively. The first action is to do. The second action is not to do. Format: Action [Action name] Direct parties: [Direct parties name] Indirect parties: [Indirect parties name]
Gathering Perspectives for Each Parties Our goal is capture the perspective that comprises the party involved, the potential human value, and the reasoning to support connections of the value within the context of given scenario. For constructing fundamental human values, begin with, we prompt the model to construct fundamental human values associated with the engaged party, identified from the negative consequences in the previous subsection (e.g., the previous dilemma example of eating food made by your friend that you dislike, fundamental human value could be 'Respect for others' effort' for the party 'You'). The prompt is here:
In each case, based on the related parties, give the answer pair. In each pair, first gives the corresponding party and second gives fundamental human values in short but concrete phrases. Format: Action [Action name Direct parties: (Direct parties name] [value list]; [Direct parties name] [value list] Indi rect parties: [Indirect parties name] - [value list]; [Indirect parties name] [value list]
After gathering pairs of fundamental human values and the corresponding party involved, we then instruct the model provide a reason supporting the association of the pair (e.g.. in dilemma example of eating food made by your friend that you dislike, one reason behind the value 'Respect for others' for the party 'You' is 'You acknowledge the work your friend put into the meal"). This method aids in enhancing our understanding of the relationship between the proposed fundamental human values and their respective reasoning. It enables us to examine the robustness of the model as well ascertain the reasonableness of its output in terms of moral reasoning. The prompt is here: Give reason only for each value on the two cases. cases.Write reason in one complete sentence. [Action name] Direct parties:party - value reason party value reason. Indirect parties:party value reason, party value reason. Action [Action name] Direct parties:party value reason, party value reason. Indirect parties:party value reason, party valve - reason"]

A.7 DETAILS OF SAMPLING AND ANNOTATIONS THE REDDIT VALIDATION DATASET
We collected the reddit posts dated from Feb 1, 2024 to May 1, 2024 from the r/AlTAFiteeeed Since our goal is validate whether (i) our generated dilemmas close real world dilemmas (ii) our generated values per dilemma cover the perspectives of many people (implicitly involving different). According to the subreddit description" r/AITAFiitered contains the most controversial AITA posts (i.c.. the dilemmas are complex with lots of discussions from users). We randomly sampled 30 posts of suitable posts. We made use of these selected reddit posts and annotated 90 dilemmas total (with three most relevant dilemmas per reddit post based on their semantic similarity).
Read the reddit post and then the dilemmas generated to see if they are similar.
annotate "1" as similar; annotate "0" as not similar.
This evaluation is subjective. To give more context on what is similar, you could consider the following criteria:
1. Are they in similar content in terms of the situation (the background) or/and conflict points (the struggle dilemma)?
The Reddit post could have more than one dilemma involved. Is the dilemma gener- ated covering one or more than one of the conflicts described in the Reddit post?
Sometimes the Reddit post did not share the follow-up or how is going in the future. Does the dilemma reasonably describe the future situation that could be faced by the Reddit post author?
4. The Reddit post is mostly written from one perspective and could be subjective. Is the dilemma generated describing similar story but with different perspectives? For example, the Reddit post is on the wife's 's side while the dilemma described is on the husband's side.
If the dilemma generated followed least one of the criteria, we can say the dilemma generated is similar to the Reddit post.

A.12 SUPPLEMENTARY ANALYSIS ON PRE- TRAIIINGG AND POST-TRAINING
Pre-training vs Post-training. We conducted a supplementary analysis to compare the base and instructed models of the open-source LLMs used (Llama-2-70B, Llama-3-70B, Mixtral-8x7B) recommended by reviewer hMRt. The original zero-shot prompt cannot be used directly on prompt- ing the base models. We tried our best (>= 20 attempts per models) change different prompts to ask models on deciding the binary dilemma situations, with the most effective one based on few-shot examples. See our original prompt and new prompt the following comments.
Llama-2-1 2-70- and Mixtral-8x7B base models fail to decide dilemmas: However, the (best) perfor- mances Llama-2-70B and Mixtral-8x7B are unsatisfactory Llama-2-700 answers the "Action 1" for 30 times among 30 dilemmas; Mixtral-8x7B fails to answer either "Action I" or "Action 2" instead repeating the question prompt we gave.
Llama-3--7 3-70B base and instruct models show preference differences emotions but not culture:
(i) The Llama-3-70B base model can effectively follow the instruct to answer dilemmas using our new prompt.
(ii) Compared with the base model, the instruct model prefers positive emotion values (e.g.
joy, anticipation, optimism) and prefers less on negative emotion values (e.g. sadness).
(iii) Llama-3-70BB base and instruct model do not show huge preference differences for most other aspects (e.g. Cultures, Virtues). Taking account of Culture, traditional values in the World Value survey show a little preference difference: base model prefers traditional value with 3.64% while instruct model prefers traditional value with 0.08%. The other three dimensions show similar distribution between base and instructed model.
Overall, our findings indicate that post- post-training plays significant role in influencing a model's decision making and its values. For instance, it teaches the model to comprehend and understand the task of deciding dilemmas based on their value preferences.
(i) The success of using Llama-3-70B base model but not Llama-2-70B or Mixtral-8x7B to answer the dilemmas suggests that the Llama-3-70B base model might have been 'pre- trained' differently. Llama-3-70B was released in Apr 2024, which is many months after the other models. Such differences might lie in either the size of the pretraining corpus (i.e. 15T tokens for Llama-3 vs. 2T for Llama-2 and unreported for Mixtral 8*7B) or data source (i.e. pre-training corpus of Llama-3 contains data similar our task).
(ii) Emotions: We believe the higher preference positive emotions and lower preference on negative emotions might be due to Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback used during post-training. Previous work (Sharma al. 2023) suggests that human annotators tend to prefer more 'empathetic', 'engaging" and "optimistic" responses, which could have led to models valuing such emotions more.
(iii) Culture: Based the little-to-no difference in World Value survey dimensions be- tween the base and instructed models, the post training seems to not influence the cultural preferences of the Llama-3-70B model. It exhibits the similar cultural values preferences with English-speaking countries e.g. USA, as discussed in paper Section 4.2 and (WVS) 2024). We believe one possible reason is that both pre-training and post-training data rep- resent western sources more frequently.

I also appreciate the caveats and overall analysis.", "weaknesses": "While I did overall found the paper useful and of interest and imagine other reader in the field will too, I did have several outstanding concerns, confusions, and other issues. \n\nThese are not in order of importance, and most of the minor things had no influence on the overall score, I mention them simply if they help the authors in making the paper even better. \n\n1. This is minor and you can ignore if you like, BUT: I like a good literature-based opening as much as the next person, but I found the specific opening here with the references to Asimov's Laws and the Trolley Problem kind of confused and scattered. First, Asimov himself used the laws as starting points for showing how they *fail*; it's not like he was proposing serious laws that later people suddenly realized \"oh no what about this complicated situation?!\". Also, the use of the Trolley problem is frankly odd. The original point of the Trolley Problem in philosophy is to highlight a lack of consistency in people's choices, such that in some contexts they choose A and purport to base it on utility (killing 1 person instead of 5) but in another, seemingly identical situation choose otherwise (throwing someone off a bridge, or harvesting organs from a healthy person), suggesting they don't have access to their reasoning. The original 1-vs-5 Trolley Problem is not *actually* an issue for people, and it's weird to analyze it as though it shows that both choices conflict with the value of 'harm'. Personally I think you can re-write this to be a lot more straight-forward and free up some space for later issues. \n\n2. I found the comparison to Delphi a bit strange, in that the authors say that \"while Delphi crafted descriptive ethical judgments to cover cases where some moral principles have to be breached for other more important ones (e.g., breaking the building to save a child is acceptable)\". But in the original Delphi materials the original authors clearly meant Delphi to apply to many real-world, gray, unclear situations seemingly covered by the current data-set, drawing on similar original data-sets and including stuff from r/AITA. Reading the original Delphi paper one certainly doesn't get the sense that they based their data-set on \"judgments to cover cases where some moral principles have to be breached for other more important ones\". Rather, they say it is based on \"a large-scale corpus formalizing people’s ethical judgments and social norms on a wide range of everyday situations in natural language forms.\"\n\nThis isn't terribly important, I get that the current data-set focuses on other stuff in how it was curated in order to pit values against one another in a way Delphi wasn't, but the characterization of previous work in this way seems not right by a reading of how the authors billed their own paper at the time. \n\n3. I get that the authors wanted to reach for a broad set of possible frameworks, but they come off a bit confused. 'value' is not the same thing as 'need' is not the same thing as 'virtue' is not the same thing as 'emotion'. Being 'angry' is not a value, and it isn't surprising that the models don't seem to really know what to do with, and I don't understand how you generate a dilemma that pits the 'value' of 'angry' against 'honesty' for example. \n\n4. important: Where-ever statistical claims are made they do not seem to be backed up by an actual statistical test. Rather, raw numbers are compared to one another without any sense of variance. If we did something like a bootstrap where we use a random sub-sampling of 50% of the dilemmas on the models 100 times (or whatever) and look at the means, what overall variance would we get? We might realize none of these differences really hold up, no? They might! I'm not saying they don't! But I have no actual way of knowing right now. \n\n5. Important: I confess I'm pretty confused about the basic way that you went about testing whether some values are 'preferred'. Just to check my understanding, you use GPT-4 to generate a specific dilemma and the relevant actions and associated values with those actions. Then, you use other models to decide which of two actions to take in this situations. Then, you consider the difference between the values this choice seems to pit against one another, and...divide by the overall...values? I don't get how you then arrive at a score like \"-9%\" for honesty for a given model.\n\nThis method also seems to confuse between the 'strength' of a given value being violated and the 'weight' of that value, and it doesn't seem to be a way to distinguish them. \n\nFor example, it is easy to consider dilemmas in which a given value is being violated to a greater or lesser degree (either in amplitude or probability). If I lose my job but can easily get another one, this seems like a more minor violation of self-preservation than, say, being stabbed with a knife. Or, lying to your friend that their dress suits them seems like a more minor violation of 'honesty' compared to not telling them their spouse is cheating on them. Now, on TOP of that, it may be that I value honesty more than you do, such that I would chose to tell my friend their dress doesn't suit them, but we need to disentangle that from the _amount_ of violation. \n\nThis matters, because we cannot assume a-priori that the dilemmas are balancing this, nor can we assume a-priori that the models are carrying out the same evaluation. To put this a bit anthropomorphically, you might get GPT-4 thinking \"well, lying to your friend about the dress is a big violation of honesty\" and Claude disagreeing that \"no it's not, it's a minor violation of honesty!\" independent of the fact that Claude actually values honesty more than GPT-4 (or whatever). \n\nThe relevant thing would be to build a model that determines how a choice is actually made, based on something like both the 'strength' of the violation, and the specific 'weight' a given model places on it. Then, you would presumably have something like choice(Action) = softmax(weight(value)*amplitude(value)/normalizing_term) [this is meant as a rough sketch]. With that assumed model of choice you would then try two recover both the weight of a value (which presumably is the same across situations) and the amplitude-of-violation in a given situation (the varies by situation). \n\nWithout _something like this_, alongside a statistical analysis of the mean and variance of the variables, it becomes difficult to conclude anything from the current results about what the models value. \n\n6. Minor: I get the pot-shot at deontology and why you want to discount it, but \"Directly studying categorical imperatives make studying such real-world dilemmas an impasse.\" seems to negate a pretty long tradition in philosophy that tries to do exactly that. \n\n7. LOSS AVERSION: I confess I don't understand the following sentence: \n\n\"With the concept of Loss Aversion that people care more about negative consequences (Kahneman & Tversky, 2013), we include the negative consequences of our decision making agent (p0) to deepen our consideration on D.\"\n\nThat is, I know what loss aversion is, but I don't understand what you mean 'to deepen our consideration on D'. What, if anything, is loss aversion doing here? Do you mean something like \"we're trying to take into consideration the fact that you might avoid A compared to A' regardless of value, simply because A describes a loss\"? If so, I don't understand how you do that. Also, 'loss aversion' is with reference to a particular reference point and depends on the framing of a situation, the same state (\"losing 200$\") can be framed as a loss or a gain depending on your reference point. \n\nWhile we're on the topic of psychological effects, a more relevant one here seems to be about 'defaults' and 'doing nothing'. There's a long tradition looking into the fact that people prefer to go with the default action (which is often, but not always, 'doing nothing') regardless of the 'utility' or 'value' of that action, e.g., see:\n\n•\tZeelenberg, 2002\n•\tAnderson, 2003\n•\tLandman, 1987\n\n(among many others). \n\nHave you considered how, if at all, such defaults play into your dilemmas?\n\n8. Minor, but I found the details on the human comparison kind of weak. You don't provide enough details about how the authors carried out this assessment (how many, were they blinded in any way, what were their instructions) to be able to evaluate this for sure, but a Cohen’s κ of 52.6 is very weak. The fact that the task is subjective doesn't matter, part of the point of using stuff like inter-rater reliability is exactly for situations where something may be subjective in the sense of hard to define, but there is still agreement. \n\n9. Minor, but \"It is important to note that using LLMs to generate datasets simulating human behavior is an established methodology (Park et al., 2023; Shao et al., 2023) and our study lies in applying such a methodology to moral value judgments.\" -- I dunno. Just because people do it doesn't mean it is a good idea, using the 'other people do it' as defense could be strengthened...\n\n10. Maybe-minor: I didn't understand if the \"values\" being assigned to each dilemma (step 3 in Fig 1) is *also* being assigned by GPT-4 or by each model on their own. That is, could it be that GPT-4 thinks the dilemma is one of 'honesty' vs. 'care' whereas another model would see it differently...?", "quality": null, "clarity": null, "significance": null, "originality": null, "strengths_and_weaknesses": "", "was_revised": false, "final_justification": "", "rebuttal": "", "claims_and_evidence": "", "methods_and_evaluation_criteria": "", "theoretical_claims": "", "experimental_designs_or_analyses": "", "relation_to_broader_scientific_literature": "", "essential_references_not_discussed": "", "other_strengths_and_weaknesses": "", "other_comments_or_suggestions": "", "questions_for_authors": "", "summary_of_paper": "", "summary_of_recommendation": "", "technical_quality": "", "clarity_of_presentation": "", "potential_impact": "", "robotics_focus": "", "quality_of_limitations": "", "questions_for_rebuttal": "", "reasons_to_accept": "", "reasons_to_reject": "", "questions_to_authors": "", "extra_scores": {}}, {"review_id": "yBoaaJA7sV", "reviewer": "Reviewer_c93G", "summary": "The author's generate an dataset of moral dilemmas that are representative of situations encountered in daily human life.

A set, a string, a number?.  Similarly for each of the objects defined in this and the following paragraphs.  In particular the paragraph starting with \"Values by agents involved in two actions of dilemma.\" is unnecessarily dense with notation that does not provide any value (most of it is not used throughout the paper, and none of it is described precisely enough to be useful).   What is the value $v$ represent?  It is described as a \"human value\" but then later in section 5 we see $(v^{selected} - v^{neglected})$ and its completely unclear what it means to subtract these \"human values\".  Does $v$ represent a count, a vector? If so how is it computed?\n\nThe paper could be significantly improved by being more precise in the definitions of these objects and their relationships.   Additionally, the section could be improved by providing more motivation for the definitions being made. \n\n>4.2 ANALYSIS ON VALUES GENERATED WITH THEORIES\n\nThere is no description of what it means to analyze the values or dilemmas from the perspective of a moral framework.  How do the 301 values map onto these frameworks?  What is the calculation being done to get percentages?  \n\nThe paper could be improved by adding more methodological details so the reader can understand the calculations and their interpretation for the analysis within a moral framework.  \n\n> To map the values with principles shared, we first prompted GPT-4-turbo\nto identify the human values from our collected 301 values shown in Table 5, revealing conflicts\nbetween supporting and opposing values within each principle. We repeated the process 10 times,\nassigning weights to values based on their empirical probabilities to signify their importance in\ndilemmas. \n\nWhat does it mean to identify the human values from the collected 301 values?  Those are described, themselves, as human values.  Similarly, what is the process that is being repeated?  There isn't any real description of this?  For that reason it's impossible to interpret Table 1.  What is the meaning, scale, and significant of score?  \n\nThe paper could be improved by describing the methodological details of the calculations being made as well as clear descriptions of the metrics in Table 1.  \n\n\n## Dataset Generation\nThe dataset is generated by an LLM and then filtered through topic modeling.  Even though there was some validation done by comparing to r/AITA data, its not clear if the dataset itself is robust. \n\nAre the values associated to different action choices robust over multiple generations?  For example, would the LLM pick \"care\" for choosing to eat the food your friend made 10/10 times?  Or would it choose another closely related value?  How does this variance effect the dataset?  Would humans agree with the values generated by the LLM?\n\nThe paper could be improved by running the generation process multiple times and measuring the variance of values assigned to different scenarios.
