I’m begging, PLEADING, with people - please, please, please do not just assume that because an LLM “cites its sources” that what it says is right. In addition to the well-known (I thought) problem where they make up sources entirely, they often “cite” sources that don’t contain the supposed info.

Why would a melon plant choose to bury its fruit where almost nothing can find it? Wildlife cameras and some careful digging have found the answer. While lots of animals have a taste for melon, only one treats it the right way. wp.me/pdRZhH-mbt #Botany #PlantScience 🧪

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

99% of the time, the people who end up getting barged in on by police and security guards with transgender bathroom bans are cisgender lesbian women. Bathroom bans don't work because you can't tell whose trans by looks alone. Anyway. Many such cases.
