    Right, in this case that we’re talking about…

    Do you not understand how “answer unavailable” is a better answer than taking a small percent of strips of paper at random and filling in the rest with words that sound relevant?

    It’s like a mad libs

      Right. They’re text generators. That’s the technology. It can’t do what you’re demanding because that’s not how it works. LLMs aren’t magic answer machines. They don’t know when to say “answer not available”. They don’t know what they’re being asked. They don’t know anything.

      You know that answer unavailable is better because you have real intelligence, an LLM is just some mathematical functions so it can’t do that. If it could it would be getting much closer to actually being AI.
