My problem with LLMs is that they're expert pattern matchers and little else.
Ask them the integral from 1-5 of ln(x) and they're sure to screw it up.
They'll give you something that sounds like the right answer, but their explanations are nonsense.
Cold readings, like a psychic, is how I recently heard them referred to as.
Exactly... I advise anyone with some kind of expertise to ask chat gpt some questions about your specific field, and see how accurate it is... Then try to ever believe it about anything else ever again.
