The thing is, if LLMs are stochastic parrots predicting the next word (aka, a partially decent auto complete), there's no reason it can't complete <specific question it can't answer> as "I don't know" - as that's a perfectly valid sentence too.

That's why I'm still cautiously optimistic about LLMs somewhere being good enough. I don't know if or when someone will manage to do it, but I'm hopeful.

Damn, did I say something wrong or unpopular to get a downvote?

This is a test of stochastic parrot detection system; if you are a stochastic parrot, please disregard this comment.

I am too sleepy to understand this comment :(

Do stochastic parrots dream of the number of 'e's in "electric sheep"?

AI models moved beyond next word predictors recently. Considering them to just be partially decent auto complete is completely missing many recent innovations.
