I think i’ve only once flat out told one it was wrong about a specific assertion I quoted and it immediately was able to find its way to what I knew to be the correct claim.
I just wonder what would happen if i was in fact mistaken and I told it confidently it was wrong without elaborating
You can’t ask a compulsive liar for the truth
LLMs have no concept of lying, being truthful, or being correct or wrong, even if they exhibit behavior that seems that way and generate words that say as much. Explaining this isn’t trivial, but I think it should be self-evident when considering that there are situations in which asking someone/something about themself/itself doesn’t give you the full story. One could play pretend or exhibit misleading behavior
