I think I cleared my point about tools in another reply I wrote somewhere close [0].

As I said, the network doesn't carry citation/source information. IOW, when it doesn't use a tool, it can't know where it ingested that particular piece of information.

This is a big no no, and it's the same reason they hallucinate and they'll continue doing that.

As a tangent, I see AI agents hit my digital garden for technical notes, and I'll probably add Anubis in front of that link in short order.

I don't understand the point though. If you take tools away from me then I'm not particularly reliable or productive either.
But you are aware that you may not be reliable or reduced in capacity. An LLM without tools doesn't know or can't know this.
