Crowdsourced versus LLM Forecasting: Evidence for the Accuracy–Correlation Effect

Jeddi Y., Segovia-Martin J., & Servan-Schreiber E. (2026)


About

This repository contains the data and code for our study on the accuracy–correlation effect (ACE) in LLM forecasting: as LLMs become more accurate, they also become more correlated with human predictions. Crucially, more accurate models do not just track the truth better; the mistakes they still make become increasingly similar to the mistakes made by human forecasters.

We analyze 76 model x prompt forecast sets from 16 LLMs on 580 resolved questions from the ForecastBench 21 July 2024 release, benchmarked against superforecasters and general public forecasters.
