For me, the main question in this context would be whether the decisions are better informed or they just feel better informed. I regularly get LLMs to lie to me in my areas of expertise, but there I have the benefit that I can usually sniff out the lie. In topics I'm not that familiar with, I can't tell whether the LLM is confidently correct or confidently incorrect.
- jas39 2y agoWell, AI does make errors, and never says "I don't know". That is also true of Wikipedia though. I've seen much improvement in accuracy from 3.5 to 4.5. Hallucinations can often be hashed out by a dialogue.
- Etheryte 2y agoWikipedia has multiple ways it tells you it doesn't know or it doesn't know for certain. Tags such as clarify, explain, confusing (all of which expand into phrases such as clarification needed etc) are abundant, and if an article doesn't meet the bar for the standard, it's either clearly annotated at the top of the article or the article is removed altogether.
