Say it with me... GPT-4o doesn't know anything. It uses statistics to generate what is likely to be a match, or to categorize what it sees or hears. When it gets it wrong, it doesn't "know" it's wrong until you tell it. Then it tries to generate a statistically likely correction.
It's really good at this. But it doesn't understand, it doesn't reason. It just picks the next token like it's been trained to do.
The upshot is, unless you already know how and why the generated text is incorrect, you'll be fooled into thinking it's the answer.

I assume most here understand your rudimentary description of how GPT works. My point assumes that LLMs and/or some augmented form of the same continue to improve. If, OTOH, the best we ever do is the current generation of models that hallucinate, require babysitting, and never reach or exceed human capabilities, then my point (and >90% of the discussion around AI's future impact) are non-issues. I suppose I assumed that was obvious.
