Meta “programmed it to simply not answer questions,” but it did anyway.

    It’s just pure math and logic. And LLMs are nothing more than billions of additions and multiplications.

    Okay: using additions and multiplications prove the assassination attempt on Donald Trump happened

      How would you even prove something like that outside of LLMs? What is your point? That you cannot prove anything except “I think therefore I am”?

      Either you haven’t read my comments or you’re intentionally trying to be provocative.

        My point is what OPs point was (which you veered away from in order to try to show off that You Are Very Smart): it is literally impossible for a computer system to prove a historical event has happened.

          I’m having a hard time keeping track of all of the threads and replies evolving here. Forgive me. But I assume you mean the followong one?

          It is impossible to mathematically determine if something is correct. Literally impossible.

          This is simply a wrong statement. You can indeed prove certain properties on these models. That implies of course that you’re able to formulate that property fully.

          I don’t know why the discussion went this far off track. The main point though is that everyone including OP is trying to discredit AI by bringing up things it was never supposed to be good at. By design, it’s not good at knowledge retrieval. But everyone is hating it because it’s hallucinating fake news. It’s beyond me why people argue like that.
