The moderators of a pro-artificial intelligence Reddit community announced that they have been quietly banning “a bunch of schizoposters” who believe “they’ve made some sort of incredible discovery or created a god or become a god,” highlighting a new type of chatbot-fueled delusion that started getting attention in early May.

    I’ve been trying to configure ChatGPT tell me if I’m wrong in a question or statement but damn it never does unless I keep probing for support or links. I’ve been having the feeling that it has become worse with latter models. Glad but also sad to see I was right.

    Anybody know other LLM that are more “trustworthy”* and capable of searching online for more information?

    Edit; *trustworthy in quotes because of course people will jump on this. I know the limitations of LLM, I don’t need you to tell me how much you hate everything AI. And I know LLM aren’t AI.

      There are no trustworthy LLMs. They don’t know it understand what they’re saying - they’re literally just predicting words that sound like they match what it was taught. It’s a only barely smarter than a parrot, and it has no idea how to research anything or tell facts from made-up bullshit. You’re wasting your time by trying to force it to do something it’s literally incapable of doing.

      You’re better off researching them the hard way; check primary sources and then check the credibility of those sources.

        Considering that parrots can have actual thoughts, I’d say LLMs are even less smart than that.

      Claude 3.7 told me i’m wrong a couple of times. It knows how to search. I don’t have an opinion on 4 yet but it can search too
