> “the mummy in TFA” Personally, I would’ve found that clearer. I know what TFA means but still found “the TFA mummy” awkward to read and parse every time. But maybe “TFA” itself was the biggest problem there. Since you were editing anyw

Those sources are often made up (pages never existed) or outright wrong (they don’t say what the LLM claimed). Asking an LLM for sources is about as (in)effective as telling it to not make stuff up.

Something I’ve also seen multiple times is an LLM giving wrong information, I tell it it’s not right, then it tells me I’m “absolutely right” and it provides the exact same answer and tells me that one will work.

The major difference is that right now when you land on a page you can do your due diligence and decide if you trust the source. You can still be tricked, but it’s harder and you can get better at the detection. With LLMs, everything is giv

To expand on this: It started as “RTFA”, which is a riff on RTFM. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTFM#List_of_similar_initialis... Doesn’t really work as OP used it, though, as it gets confusing. They wrote “the TFA mum

You’re right. I should’ve done better and apologise. I have lightly edited the post above to keep the core point while removing the swipes. I disagree with the irony point on the basis that none of us here (I assume) is a despot or in a pos
