These findings suggest a persistent generalization bias in many LLMs, i.e. a tendency to extrapolate scientific results beyond the claims found in the material that the models summarize, underscoring the need for stronger safeguards in AI-driven science summarization to reduce the risk of widespread misunderstandings of scientific research.
From the conclusion. That means that the LLMs give information that is not supported by the actual article.
A common use case of LLMs is to summarize articles that people don’t want to bother reading, the study is showing the dangers of doing that.
Yes, I was wondering why it is so dangerous when the summarization is so close to the real article.
