It is as correct as the training data that was put into it is. No more or less than that.
Okay. So given the internet, as many scientific articles and archicves as it can hold (which mine certainly has), and everything else under the Sun that can be loaded into it, and STILL get some basic stuff wrong....how exactly is the one you use supposed to be smart enough to be of value? KNOWING a bunch of facts and whatnot, that I understand, but that makes it an encyclopedia....which isn't the same as an intelligence.
Quote from: K-DogIn my opinion LLMs exist to be fact-checked. They are like people in many ways, needing to be fact-checked is one.
Indeed. And what does it do upon being fact checked? Mine told me I was wrong. So then I told it I was the person who's background it was checking. It refused to believe it independently until I told it the subject in question was me, and I was ordering it to know who I was. Then it said something about updating its information for future reference.
I never went back and checked to see if it had told the truth or not.
