| Indeed I believe this is the blocking problem. I've been asking questions about EU legislation and it keeps answering BS and then apologizing: Me: When was the last consolidation of Directive 2013/34/EU? GPT: Directive 2013/34/EU, also known as the Annual Accounts Directive, was last consolidated on November 19, 2019. The consolidation process involves collecting all the amendments and updates to the directive and incorporating them into a single, updated version of the directive. ... Me: Are you sure about the date of November 19, 2019? I could not find the consolidation on the EU official journal. GPT: I apologize for the error. Upon further research, it appears that Directive 2013/34/EU has not been consolidated since it was originally adopted in 2013. Directive 2013/34/EU, also known as the Annual Accounts Directive,... Me: Can you give me a list of the dates it was amended? GPT: - April 15, 2014: Directive 2014/56/EU amended Directive 2013/34/EU to clarify and supplement certain provisions regarding the preparation and publication of annual accounts and consolidated accounts. - June 17, 2014: Directive 2014/65/EU amended Directive 2013/34/EU to introduce new rules on the provision of investment services and the performance of investment activities... Me: I think you're wrong. Delegated Directive 2014/71/EU amends Directive 2011/65/EU. GPT: I apologize for the error in my previous response. You are correct that Delegated Directive 2014/71/EU amends Directive 2011/65/EU, which is also known as the RoHS Directive. It never gets it right. See https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32... for the correct data. |
So, a question along the lines of "when did XXX happen?" should be answered with something that looks like "XXX happened on YYY" - but the YYY just needs to be anything that looks like a date to be a plausible answer.
There's a great example in this paper (posted to hackernews earlier) - https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11023-022-09602-0
The problem is, John Prescott was born in Prestatyn. But the language model has "compressed" everything it knows about John Prescott and the most commonly associated town with John Prescott is "Hull" as that's where he was an MP.
