Click here to .This podcast based on the research by Zhiyong Han entitled "Beyond Text Generation: Assessing Large Language Models' Ability to Follow Rules and Reason Logically".It investigates the capacity of five large language models (LLMs)—ChatGPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, Meta AI, and Mistral—to adhere to strict rules and employ logical reasoning. The study primarily assesses their performance using word ladder puzzles, which demand precise rule-following and strategic thinking, contrasting with typical text generation tasks. Furthermore, the research evaluates the LLMs' ability to implicitly recognise and avoid violations of the HIPAA Privacy Rule in a simulated real-world scenario. The findings indicate that while LLMs can articulate rules, they struggle significantly with practical application and consistent logical reasoning, often prioritising text completion over ethical considerations or accurate rule adherence. This highlights critical limitations in LLMs' reliability for tasks requiring rigorous rule-following and ethical discernment, urging caution in their deployment in sensitive fields like healthcare and education.
