Tests of how well 19 large language models (LLMs) complete and perform complicated multi-step tasks has shown that they are both error-prone and, in many cases, unreliable. The findings are contained a preprint paper, LLMs Corrupt Your Documents When You Delegate, written by Microsoft researchers  Philippe Laban, Tobias Schnabel and Jennifer Neville based on a benchmark they created called DELEGATE-52 that allowed them to simulate workflows that might be part of a knowledge worker’s tasks. The paper is currently under review. They said that the benchmark contains 310 work environments across 52 professional domains including coding, crystallography, genealogy and music sheet notation. Each environment consists of real documents totaling around 15K tokens in length, and five to 10 complex editing tasks that a user might ask an LLM to perform. And, they stated in the paper’s abstract: “Our analysis shows that current LLMs are unreliable delegates: they introduce sparse but severe errors
