Großes Problem in #stuttgart seit ewigen Zeiten: Falschparken! Bauliche Verbesserungen dauern lange. Verkehrsüberwachung benötigt mehr Personal, um etwas bewirken zu können. Was tun? Antwort könnte sein: #Scancars. Diese könnten bald in Stuttgart zum Einsatz kommen. Wir erhoffen uns mehr Sicherheit auf der Straße. Was meint ihr dazu?

Digitale Verkehrsüberwachung in Stuttgart - Scan-Fahrzeuge: Effektiver im Kampf gegen Falschparker

Seit März dürfen in Baden-Württemberg Scan-Fahrzeuge für die Verkehrskontrolle eingesetzt werden. Das Kamerasystem kontrolliert ein Vielfaches dessen was Mitarbeiter des Ordnungsamtes schaffen. An der Uni Hohenheim läuft derzeit ein Testbetrieb.

Unpopulär, aber ich freue mich sehr über Regen in Berlin und wünschte, es würde 2 Wochen durchregnen.

Genau deshalb: Deutschlandweit war es von Anfang Februar bis Mitte April noch nie seit Beginn der Auswertung 1931 so trocken wie in diesem Jahr.

Most #LLMs over-generalized scientific results beyond the original articles

...even when explicitly prompted for accuracy!

The #AI was 5x worse than humans, on average!

Newer models were the worst.🤦‍♂️

Generalization Bias in Large Language Model Summarization of Scientific Research

Artificial intelligence chatbots driven by large language models (LLMs) have the potential to increase public science literacy and support scientific research, as they can quickly summarize complex scientific information in accessible terms. However, when summarizing scientific texts, LLMs may omit details that limit the scope of research conclusions, leading to generalizations of results broader than warranted by the original study. We tested 10 prominent LLMs, including ChatGPT-4o, ChatGPT-4.5, DeepSeek, LLaMA 3.3 70B, and Claude 3.7 Sonnet, comparing 4900 LLM-generated summaries to their original scientific texts. Even when explicitly prompted for accuracy, most LLMs produced broader generalizations of scientific results than those in the original texts, with DeepSeek, ChatGPT-4o, and LLaMA 3.3 70B overgeneralizing in 26 to 73% of cases. In a direct comparison of LLM-generated and human-authored science summaries, LLM summaries were nearly five times more likely to contain broad generalizations (OR = 4.85, 95% CI [3.06, 7.70]). Notably, newer models tended to perform worse in generalization accuracy than earlier ones. Our results indicate a strong bias in many widely used LLMs towards overgeneralizing scientific conclusions, posing a significant risk of large-scale misinterpretations of research findings. We highlight potential mitigation strategies, including lowering LLM temperature settings and benchmarking LLMs for generalization accuracy.
