A “natural language query” search engine is what I need sometimes.

    If you think that LLM’S are anything like encyclopedias, you fundamentally misunderstand what an LLM is. Its a story teller. Its not designed to be right its designed to engaging.

    Encyclopedias are designed to be knowledge bases. Things you can rely on to give correct answers. LLM’s are not. They can be pushed towards that, but their very foundation is antithetical to that and it makes them very hard to believe.

      If you think that LLM’S are anything like encyclopedias, you fundamentally misunderstand what an LLM is.

      I never said I think they’re anything like encyclopedias; I said that being so skeptical that you feel you have to personally verify every little thing you hear or read or watch would be akin to not trusting second- or third-party sources, such as encyclopedias, books, essays, documentaries, expert opinions, etc.

      Its a story teller. Its not designed to be right its designed to engaging.

      That heavily depends on how its designed and for what purpose. It is not a hard-and-fast rule.

      their very foundation is antithetical to that and it makes them very hard to believe.

      Current iterations maybe. But future iterations will improve. As they say, it’s a learning process.

        Every current LLM is built this way so it is a hard and fast rule.

        I’m only talking about current iterations. No one here knows what the next iterations will be so we can’t comment on it. And right now its incredibly foolish to believe what an LLM tells you. They lie, like a lot.
