Each LLM is given the same 1000 chess puzzles to solve. See puzzles.csv. Benchmarked on Mar 25, 2024.

This to me shows that LLM simply isn't trustworthy, it's one thing it can't solve a puzzle, fair enough. But that it uses illegal moves is kind of alarming.
This is a relatively simple task, so this proves that LLM isn't trustworthy even for simple tasks.
That said, I still think LLM is an impressive technology, but I'd be very careful relying on it for anything. The fact that some companies already use them for customer support gives me horror goosebumps.

i mean.. try using it for even simple stuff like designing code. Often, ChatGPT creates a fantasy library that does the task you ask chatgpt tk do.. the library don't exists, but chatgpt writes you code using that fantasy software library. Same with program functions who don't exist.

Same happens with stuff like People, telephone numbers, locations, books etc.. tons of fantasy stuff.

LLMs aren't trustworthy for such stuff if you need real info and not just creative help with fantasy stuff. And even for those tasks it is usually not really good enough.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that, the "fantasy" stuff was news to me when I read they make illegal moves to solve chess puzzles.
There has been a lot of praise for how amazing these LLM models are, but apparently they have some pretty serious limitations, that might even make them dangerous to use, if you are not aware.

The issue with LLMs is, that they got trained with all kinds of data. so not just real scientific data but also fantasy (lies, books, movie scripts etc ).. and nobody told the LLMs while training them what is fantasy or what not. so they only know how to generate text that looks "legit" without really knowing what is true and what not. so if you ask for a person and their personal details as an example.. a LLM could generate real looking data that is just fantasy because it learned that such data looks like this. same goes for everything else like programming code, book titles, facts etc.. LLMs just generates text in the correct format and which looks real, without caring if its real or not.

I'm sure you are right, LLM isn't intelligent enough to distinguish between fact and fantasy on it's own, which IMO is a bit disappointing considering early reports about ChatGPT. Which were overwhelmingly positive. The AI is way more artificial than intelligent. Or as I saw earlier, the i in LLM is for intelligence. 😋
