why?

How does the LLM know which sources can be trusted?

  • yeah it can avoid blogspam as sources and prioritise research from more prestigious journals or more citations. it will be smart enough to use some proxy.

    • You can also tell it to just not hallucinate, right? Problem solved.

      I think what you'll end up is a response that still relies on whatever random sources it likes, but it'll just attribute it to the "trusted sources" you asked for.
