Would you feel the same way if the lawyer used a Wikipedia page that had made-up citations in his legal brief? What regulations do we need Wikipedia to stop this from happening?
- hoosieree 3y agoAverage people understand the limitations of Wikipedia (which has been around for 20+ years). LLMs are new, and people don't understand their limitations yet. Plus, we're trained from birth to interpret plausible-sounding text as likely correct and true. LLMs generate plausible-sounding text without regard for truth. So now we can either fix the LLM models or become much more critical readers/listeners. Unfortunately I don't see either happening anytime soon.
- pixl97 3y agoThis has happened with Wikipedia, and then people talked about it on the news, in social media, and in classrooms for the last decade to the point most people typically say "remember to verify your wikipedia information".
