LLMs silently corrupt documents during editing tasks, study finds

A recent study has uncovered that large language models can unintentionally corrupt documents when tasked with editing. Researchers tested 19 LLMs, including advanced models like Gemini Pro and Claude Opus, and found that these models altered approximately 25% of content after 20 interactions. The study indicated that less capable models tend to delete content, while more sophisticated ones introduce plausible but incorrect information, with degradation increasing with larger context windows and complex file types.
