    LLMs can’t believe anything. It’s based on training data up until 2023, so of course it has no “recollection” (read: sources) about current events.

    An LLM isn’t a search engine nor an oracle.

      Geez I know that, everybody knows it’s just a chatbot. I thought it was a bit funny to share this conversation in this sub but most of the replies are people lecturing about the fact that AI is not sentient and blablabla

        Ah, I believe this community is for posting about actual real things that make our society look like a boring dystopia. Not a fictual thing that might be funny.

        So that might explain why people are responding the way they do.

          Maybe I’m not interpreting the goal of this community it right.

          I think it’s funny that a bot locked in 2023 would tell me that all the things that -actually happened- in the past week are not plausible, and that I’m probably just inventing a dystopian scenario.

            People are downvoting because you worded your title weirdly based on what your screenshot shows. It would be more accurate to say that the bot refuses to believe Musk could be a Nazi (based on past training data), not that it refuses to believe he is based on current events, since it doesn’t know about current events.

            It’s kinda cheating to be honest, you can make a bot say anything you want. But I understand your angle better now, thanks for the extra info!
