>But LLMs are marketed as more than that, and that's the problem. They're marketed by their makers as more than that.
The new snake oil, same as the old snake oil. This is no different than any other tech bubble. Nobody paying attention should think otherwise. I don't care how it's marketed, I mean half the US is going to vote for a serial rapist conman thanks to some twisted marketing. People are idiots and are easily fooled, and this has gone on as long as there have been humans. I'm not sure what to say about "marketing".
So finally we can sort of agree on something. But I still think you're giving the LLMs too much credit in suggesting that they will always infallibly say "Paris" when asked where is the capital of France. There's simply no mechanism for the LLM to understand "Paris" or "France" or "Capital". If I asked the LLM that question 1,000,000 times, do you really think it would result in "Paris" 1,000,000 times? I kind of doubt it.
The problem is with the person who is expecting truth from an LLM. So far I don't really see too many people putting absolute faith in anything an LLM is telling them, but maybe those people are out there.
No, I never said that an LLM would always say "Paris". I said that Paris is the actual correct answer. I don't give LLMs that kind of credit; I'm not sure what I said that made you think that I do.
