Research Shows Contemporary LLMs Struggle to Articulate Probabilities in Natural Language

A recent study highlights that despite their growing capabilities, many contemporary Large Language Models (LLMs) still struggle significantly to explain probabilities and uncertainty in plain natural language.
This finding exposes current limitations in the probabilistic reasoning and cognitive expression of these models, carrying important implications for high-stakes applications that require precise risk assessment and uncertainty quantification.
