  • OK, instead of “lie”, I should have said it produces incorrect information any time the answer isn’t obvious from a cursory google search, and does so in a way that deceives anyone who isn’t already familiar enough with the subject that they didn’t need to ask in the first place.

    It’s fine for asking it to generate answers you could have typed out yourself, such as boilerplate code and “what color is the sun”.



  • There are thousands of papers on the color of the sun, its trivial to google a paper, if you need an LLM to do this, that’s on you. But if you ask it valve clearances for an indonesian motorbike in english, it will make it up, even though the service manual is available in Indonesian. If you ask it how to synthesize a chemical that nobody bothers to write about because its uninteresting or impossible, it will straight up lie.












  • I don’t know if its gotten worse, we should expect it to have gotten better now that people consume more media than ever.

    If judging from my trump-supporting, boomer extended family playing Jimmy Hendrix’s Star Spangeled Banner at a 4th of July cookout, it was always terrible.

    These include people who are still mad at Jane Fonda and blame the vietnamese for defending themselves.
