These models should have good programming to be able to say:
"I don't know the answer to what you are asking"
when the model truly has no idea.
Instead often some ridiculous response is just made up.
They always have an answer because they are building a large probability table and will select the most probable response they can make. Even if that result is nonsense or wrong, it's what they have to work with. They don't store how some probable connection was created - they don't recall that it came from a specific paper or standard; no traceability exists in the probability table. There is no place in the LLM for an administrator to make a point fix. If somehow the model is fed information where a person's name is consistently spelled incorrectly, there isn't a way to search-and-replace to fix it.
Contrast with Wikipedia where, for the most part, community guidelines require sources and almost every individual sentence in many.articles has one or more listed/footnoted sources.

Frankenstein was a work of fiction. AI now is the reality of what happens when someone puts a bunch of random parts together. The makers rob people of intellectual property, just as D. Frankenstein was robbing graves. I'll have to consider more about the parallels, but I cannot help but wonder when the Creation will turn against the Creator.
