I agree that it's a tired argument, but there appears to be two separate things being discussed in this little corner of HN. Clarity in the problem it's being asked to solve, and confidence that the answer it has is correct.
I can trivially get any of the foundational models to ask me clarifying questions. I've never had one respond with 'I don't know'.
I've gotten lots of responses like "with the information you provided, I cannot answer that. Can you provide more information?"
Which IMO is the name as "idk"
