RLHF doesn't need humans anymore! The Google team's research proves that AI labeling has reached the human level

Google's latest research proposes a new approach, AI Feedback Reinforcement Learning (RLAIF). This method can achieve the same effect as RLHF without relying on human annotation. Studies have shown that there is no significant difference between RLAIF and RLHF in terms of win rate. In addition, the researchers also found that abstracts generated by RLAIF were superior to reference abstracts in some cases. The results of this study suggest that RLAIF can be a viable alternative to RLHF, thereby reducing the reliance on manual labeling. This method has great potential, but there are still some limitations that require further study. (Shin Ji Won)
