Research comparing large language models (LLMs) to humans in group coordination tasks reveals that LLMs exhibit excessive volatility and switching behavior that impairs collective performance. Unlike humans who adapt and stabilize over time, LLMs fail to improve across repeated coordination games and don't benefit from richer feedback mechanisms.
