It's not really the same. An LLM doesn't understand its context and doesn't have a notion of true or false. If it were just repeating things from its cultural context, it shouldn't invent libraries or court cases that don't exist in its context. And unlike a human, if you ask if for details on something non-existent, it will continue elaborating on this thing that it's creating out of thin air. It's not really making assumptions so much as to it these things really exist. And ChatGPT will directly contradict the prompt even. I asked it yesterday what the value of a non-interest-bearing bond is and it replied that it's valuable because of the interest you collect from it just because that's the usual answer.
