You should trust it as much as you'd trust another human.
The quality of the LLM matters. The better LLMs don't hallucinate as much as the rest. ChatGPT-4 appears to be trained to consult the web when it receives questions for which it's likely to hallucinate, such as questions about hard figures.
- rsynnott 2y ago> You should trust it as much as you'd trust another human. Eh? Only a sociopath, when confronted with a question they don't know the answer to, confidently makes something up. The human may not know the answer, but they generally know whether they know the answer or not. The machine does not (of course, it doesn't _know_ anything). You should absolutely trust something less than this far less than the average human.

The human may not know the answer, but they generally know whether they know the answer or not. What? No. Literally fake memories are such a well-known phenomenon the cops will abuse it to generate fake solutions to crimes etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confabulation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confabulation Also there are people for which compulsive lying is a pathological problem, who are definitely not sociopaths, and there are many people who demonstrate the processes to non-pathological/non-clinical levels. People will, indeed, “just make it up” perhaps especially if they don’t really know the answer, because that’s socially embarrassing etc - that’s literally the opposite of sociopathy. https://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/psychpedia/compulsive-lying https://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/psychpedia/compulsive-lying
