- petesergeant 7mo agoThey are prone to making stuff up, but less prone to sticking to it on interrogation (although obviously that does happen, and Gemini used to be terrible for this). I find restating my new understanding of something to a new context window to be a valuable part of the learning process, and most likely saves me here, esp as I have memories switched off. I use LLMs a lot for medical advice and will normally take a bunch of second opinions from clean windows and other LLMs. Hasn’t killed me yet!
