  • The issue with LLMs is, that they got trained with all kinds of data. so not just real scientific data but also fantasy (lies, books, movie scripts etc )… and nobody told the LLMs while training them what is fantasy or what not. so they only know how to generate text that looks “legit” without really knowing what is true and what not. so if you ask for a person and their personal details as an example… a LLM could generate real looking data that is just fantasy because it learned that such data looks like this. same goes for everything else like programming code, book titles, facts etc… LLMs just generates text in the correct format and which looks real, without caring if its real or not.


  • i mean… try using it for even simple stuff like designing code. Often, ChatGPT creates a fantasy library that does the task you ask chatgpt tk do… the library don’t exists, but chatgpt writes you code using that fantasy software library. Same with program functions who don’t exist.

    Same happens with stuff like People, telephone numbers, locations, books etc… tons of fantasy stuff.

    LLMs aren’t trustworthy for such stuff if you need real info and not just creative help with fantasy stuff. And even for those tasks it is usually not really good enough.
