How are LLMs not behaving factually? They already predict the next most likely term.

If they could predict facts, then these would be gods, not machines. It would be saying that in all the written content we have, there exists a pattern that allows us to predict all answers to questions we may have.

The problem is that some people are running around and saying they are gods. Which I wouldn't care about, but an alarming number of people do believe that they can predict facts.
Our system can effectively predict facts.

It logics its way to it.

By predicting the next word in a sequence of words.

Sure? It kinda sounds plausible? But man, if it’s that straight forward, what have we been doing as a species for so many years ?
