Generally LLMs do generate some correct information, then also generate a bunch of useless and misleading text surrounding it.
Sometimes when starting out by prompting an LLM the resulting generated text makes it way faster to find what you are looking for. Other times it’s the opposite where a simple web search would have been faster. It feels like gambling for correct helpful information :(
But so many people trust LLM generated text without checking it. It’s exhausting trying to show them so mostly I don’t bother anymore…
I feel this so much.
