A new study reveals that LLMs significantly distort written language by altering conclusions, changing stances, and introducing larger semantic shifts than human editors. The research, which analyzed human essays, user studies, and peer reviews from a top AI conference, found that 21% of AI-generated peer reviews focused on different scientific criteria. These findings suggest potential widespread impacts on communication, politics, and science as LLM use becomes more prevalent.
Background
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used for writing assistance by over a billion people worldwide, but their impact on the meaning and authenticity of written communication remains understudied. This research provides empirical evidence of how LLMs alter human writing in significant ways.
