LLMs Corrupt Your Documents When You Delegate | Hacker News
TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
A Hacker News commenter criticized an LLM delegation study that claimed models corrupt documents when given tasks.
They argued the benchmark used a simple read/write file setup that likely caused the corruption, rather than the models themselves.
The commenter said better editing tools and a stronger harness could materially improve the results.
The discussion suggests LLM benchmark outcomes can depend heavily on tool design and prompting, not just model quality.
