Describes someone who has been fully converted to the belief that rigorous evaluation and benchmarking are the only trustworthy path to truth — whether about AI models, relationships, career moves, or anything else. Evals-pilled people refuse vibes-based takes; they want data, reproducible results, and measurable outcomes before they'll call anything good. The term carries a mild irony since being this obsessed with metrics is itself a kind of unexamined ideology. Often used affectionately within AI-discourse communities.
He's so evals-pilled he made a spreadsheet to decide which friend group to keep hanging out with.
