Why not just use the search bar in Wikipedia and call it good?
- LeoPanthera 2y agoBecause "searching for an encyclopedia article" and "asking questions about a branch of knowledge" are fundamentally different approaches. In theory, an LLM that was a talking Wikipedia would not be limited to giving you knowledge from just one page, it could extract multiple pieces of information from multiple articles to answer the precise question you had, and could accept follow-up questions on the same or similar topics.
- card_zero 2y agoIt's a good idea, but it might turn out to hallucinate even more. For instance, there is one article on Abraham Lincoln and one on Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, so the statistics (50/50) in regard of mixing fantasy with reality are perhaps discouraging.
