I've had a different experience - LLMs that continue to apologize then make up other wrong shit in a chain of ludicrous wrong shit.
I think of LLMs as world-class bullshitters. They often hold forth with complete confidence on topics they have little or no understanding of, making up what they don't know, and appearing to be experts. Except to somebody who actually knows something.
Like that blowhard friend who has an opinion on anything.

- cwalv 3y agoI've never had one give correct information after being told it's incorrect, unless it was prompted with the correct info. It's usually the same incorrect answer stated slightly differently, or after a few complaints, stated exactly the same way.
- wizofaus 3y agoI had to ask it 3 times today what the command to export certificates from an Azure app service was. With nothing else other than me saying "that command doesn't exist" for the first two suggestions, it gave me exactly the right one. Though then of course it turned out I didn't need it anyway because there was a better way to solve the problem.
- chongli 3y agoLike that blowhard friend who has an opinion on anything. Yes. I just keep getting reminded of the episode of TNG when Data learns to smalltalk by mimicking an infamous blowhard from Starfleet [1]. [1] https://youtu.be/9FqFm_vmVnE https://youtu.be/9FqFm_vmVnE
