Why it matters
Copying is not a clever task, but software built on AI does it constantly. A program might be asked to move numbers from your form into a table, or settings from one file into another. If the AI silently changes one character, the mistake is easy to miss and hard to trace. The researchers also show a possible fix, but they only tested it on small models they built themselves, so it is not yet proven in the biggest systems.
