A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Strongly agreed. I view this as the biggest issue with LLMs. They will hallucinate a confidently incorrect answer for those cases. It makes them misinformation machines.
Getting reliable information out of an LLM is almost impossible.
The hallucinations look so real, that to spot them, you need to already know the correct answer. And if you know the correct answer, why do you need to ask the question?
And if you don't know the answer, you can never know whether the answer is actually based in reality at all or a pure fabrication.
