Talking about "truth" or "lies" with LLMs isn't helpful.
1 comments

Could you get the CEO of Goggle or OpenAI to state that clearly in a press announcement? 8-)

Although "isn't helpful" is rather dodgy wording. "Helpful" for who? "Helpful" in what way?

I think most users would find it helpful if the output was not presented as correct, when it's incorrect.

If every prompt that ever went into an LLM was prefixed with: "tell me a made up story about:", then the user expectation would be more in line with what the output represents.

But, that's not the way the corps are describing it, is it?
