A new study published on arXiv analyzes the grammatical and lexical diversity of large language models (LLMs) compared to human-written text. Researchers found that newer, instruction-tuned LLMs exhibit reduced syntactic and lexical diversity when compared to older models and human-authored news articles from The New York Times. This suggests that while instruction tuning improves coherence, it may also narrow the expressive range of LLM outputs. AI
