SOTA LLMs Tend to Reword Text When Asked Only to Fix Typos
mitsuhiko · x · 2026-07-31
Armin Ronacher, creator of the Flask framework, observed a common behavioral pattern in current state-of-the-art (SOTA) large language models. When users explicitly ask the models only to fix typos and punctuation, the models tend to unnecessarily reword and rewrite the text instead of making minimal, targeted corrections. This highlights ongoing issues with instruction adherence and over-eagerness in modern LLMs.
