LLMs believe false statements even after explicit warnings that they’re false

New research on so-called “negation neglect” finds that LLMs in a roughly analogous situation don’t behave that way. They appear to learn from the statistical patterns in their training text more than ...

Student talent drives simpler method for programming artificial muscles in soft robots
