I can ask a local LLM about Hillel the Elder, and I get good information complete with references. I then go then check those references and verify the information. They are usually accurate. Practically speaking you statement is at odds with what they do, even if you classify what they do is fabrication as a medium.
- danans 3y agoEverything LLMs produce is a fabrication, because it is all based on a linguistic simulation of reality, experience and meaning. In many cases the output corresponds to a benign factual reality. In other other significant cases it corresponds to falsehoods. If LLMs had any mooring in reality - whether physical, historical, moral, or cultural - they wouldn't try to diminish the difference between Hitler and Musk (and I'm saying that as no fan of the current version of Musk). That, coupled with our brains' inherent tendency to believe their output, is why they need guard rails.
