I like to ask AI systems sports trivia. It's something low-stakes, easy-to-check, and for which there's a ton of good clean data out there.
It sucks at sports trivia. It will confidently return information that is straight up wrong [1]. This should be a walk in the park for an LLM, but it fails spectacularly at it. How is this useful for learning at all?
But just because it's wrong about sports trivia doesn't mean it's wrong about anything else! /s [0]
