The whole "stochastic means to find factual correctness" thing is an error of method, arguing about weights here is nonsense.

  It isn't though, the most factually correct human expert is also stochastic. The only question is how the dice are weighted.

    "human expert" as reference for "factually correct", oh just gently caress yourself. Appeal to authority (expert = social status) is as much bullshit as appeal to popularity.

      Right now the fully deterministic always correct oracle machine doesn't exist. The most authorative answer we can get on a subject is from a respected human in their field (who is still stochastic). It's unrealistic to hold LLMs to a higher standard than that.

          Ok, so humans are also fallible. Your point being?
