I don’t know anything about tech, so please bear with your mom’s work friend (me) being ignorant about technology for a second.
I thought the whole issue with generative ai as it stands was that it’s equally confident in truth and nonsense, with no way to distinguish the two. Is there actually a way to get it to “remember” true things and not just make up things that seem like they could be true?
No, basically. They would love to be able to do that, but it's approximately impossible for the generative systems they're using at the moment
