A new study compared the performance of large language models (LLMs) against human annotators in a number-disambiguation task involving the pronoun 'they'. The LLM Kimi K3 achieved 94.5% accuracy, surpassing the human majority vote and the average performance of human annotators, though a single best human annotator scored slightly higher at 95.7%. While LLMs offer significant advantages in speed and cost for linguistic annotation, the research highlights the necessity of human oversight for critical reasoning, particularly in ambiguous cases that can refine the annotation methodology itself.
