> If I ask an LLM how old the Earth is, and it replies ~4.5 billion years old
It will have to reply "According to Clair Patterson and further research, the Earth is ~4.5 billion years old". Or some other form that points to the source somewhere.
Pretty sad that the rest of the world needs to pay for the extra tokens because of non-scientific american bias. This is also possibly a big point why countries/regions want sovereign LLMs which will propagate regional biases only.
I always like to ask these models who invented the airplanes, because a few countries have their own inventor... So in my opinion, it's a good way to check.
Very good. If the LLM has to express an opinion, it will have to be its own opinion (after the implementation of intelligence and judgement) - otherwise, it has to explicit the foundations of its statements (certainly not be the "hearsay machine" we have seen).
It's not a matter of «extra tokens»: it's that the fact, the "summary after the protocols", is what I wrote. It is the correct answer. It's what you should expect from a lucid speaker.
No. That disclaimer implies that there are other likely answers. The age of the earth is completely settled, and has been for a long time. Facts don't care about your feelings.
