Think about it this way: remember those upside-down answer keys in the back of your grade school math textbook? Now imagine if those answer keys included just as many incorrect answers as correct ones. How would you know if you were right or wrong without asking your teacher? Until a LLM can guarantee a right answer, and back it up with real citations, it will continue to do more harm than good.
Certainly plausible. I’m sure they are trying to figure out how to get it to understand relationships between information now that it’s pretty good at statistical inference.
