How Does Thinking Mode Change LLM Moral Judgments? A Controlled Instant-vs-Thinking Comparison Across Five Frontier Models
Researchers compared moral judgment consistency in five frontier LLMs when using instant versus extended reasoning modes across 100 scenarios. While overall agreement remained statistically similar between modes, reasoning improved cross-model consensus on disputed moral cases and reduced demographic-based inconsistencies, suggesting that explicit reasoning processes may enhance fairness despite not dramatically shifting individual verdicts.
