    You believe an LLM can be used to distinguish facts from fiction? I wonder up to which year that misconception was taught in school.

    The whole point of LLMs is, to convince their users that the “facts” they generate are actual facts.

      They can browse the web, and I never meant it would be 100 accurate just easier. Don’t think this is going to be a mission critical website

        That just it, these “facts” won’t be on the web for stuff approximately 2005 and before. No where on the web is the racist and homophobic shit I was taught in the 80’s and 90’s listed on some wiki.

        LLM’s are mostly useless anyways at distinguishing real information, they are just shit summary tools and poor search engines.
