Properly calibration expectations is part of it, but surely we could do better by having the AI cite proper sources and having it show us the line of reasoning?

Properly calibration expectations is part of it, but surely we could do better by having the AI cite proper sources and having it show us the line of reasoning? The problem is that right now you ask an LLM a question and it'll confidently give you an incorrect answer without any sources or explanation of the reasoning behind it.
Having tools that shift blame and confidently lie to you is a problem. Here's a recent example that bothered me: I tried using Meta AI to generate an image and it failed. When I asked why it failed, it kept lying and making up excuses for how it was my fault or my browser was doing something wrong. When in reality the probable explanation was that the image prompt included something that was probably flagged as sensitive content, which is why the image generation failed. (It wasn't even anything nefarious, I just tried several variations of catgirls.) If something goes against some content guidelines I want the tool to tell me that, rather than gaslight me with lies.
- jedberg 2y agoIn most human interactions, do people site their sources? If someone doesn't want to tell you something because it makes them uncomfortable, do they tell you that or do they lie to you to make you feel better? I'm with you, it would be nice if LLMs could do those things, but also I don't expect my human friends to do that, so I'm not sure why I should expect it of my AI.
