    Just. Stop. Using. LLMs. They hallucinate lie unpredictably, and have biases put in by whomever controls them. Jeebus Cripes.

      I’d say they lie somewhat predictably, in proportion to their training data per topic. I’ve only asked questions that I know have an unpoliticized, specific answer, and even then I verify.

        I dont understand what the point of going to the LLM is if you need to verify what it tells you?

        Its gonna take more time than it would to just go directly to the source, and youre wasting resources too.

        Kind of seems like there is absolutely no benefit whatsoever

          If you knew the source, you wouldn’t need to go to the LLM. It’s helpful when you don’t know where to begin, like when you don’t even know the name of the piece of your staircase that snapped off. You can just take a picture of the broken part and ask what is called and then verify that answer rather than read a bunch of blogspam from people trying to sell their home repair service.
