Mine attempts to lie whenever it can if it doesn’t know something. I will call it out and say that is a lie and it will say “you are absolutely correct” tf.
I was reading into sleeper agents placed inside local LLMs and this is increasing the chance I’ll delete it forever. Which is a shame because it is the new search engine seeing how they ruined search engines
When I’ve tried using them directly, they don’t so much lie as much as just give me completely wrong information. I think the last time, I was asking for a list of shoulder mics compatible with the Baofeng BF-A58 radio. It gave me a long list of mics for the UV-5R instead. Completely different connector. The reason I even tried a LLM for that was that Google wasn’t being overly helpful either.
At this point, I really only use LLMs to add tags to things for sorting in Paperless and Hoarder, and even that is often incomplete, inconsistent and occasionally, flat out wrong.
