Why AI Systems Can’t Catch Their Own Mistakes – And What to Do About It

Abstract

Large language models exhibit a critical limitation: they cannot reliably evaluate their own outputs within the same conversational context where those outputs were generated. Recent research demonstrates that when AI systems attempt to check their own reasoning, they confirm their initial responses over 90% of the time regardless of correctness—a phenomenon researchers term “intrinsic self-correction failure.”… Read More “Why AI Systems Can’t Catch Their Own Mistakes – And What to Do About It”
