  > It should be fairly trivial for it to tell you how often its straight up lied about something. By what mechanism would it "lie" to you? How is it even capable of lying in this sense of the word: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lie#Verb_2 https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lie#Verb_2 > To give false information intentionally with intent to deceive. I guess it could "lie" in other senses, but calling that lying is not really adding clarity to the situation.

  It isn't trivial. That's the whole problem. Luckily my use cases have a manual check built in but even a proxy for confidence would be amazing.

  It's essentially impossible. Confidence is often a situational measure. "Is the sky blue?" * Generally, yes. If you ask a 5 year old, the answer is yes. * Is the sky blue right now? Maybe, maybe not. You need to look outside. Even then, you might have wild fire haze. Is it still blue? Is it orange? When does blue become orange? * Is the sky blue in Blade Runner? Doesn't really seem like it. ----- Further, who are you talking to? Is this trivia night where your best guess is better than no guess? Is this a scientific panel? Do you have alternative options? Do those alternative options align with your opinion? If you're wrong, how wrong are you?
