You’re putting the cart before the horse. Tell us the specific situational problem that you’re trying to solve. Like what ultimate end result are you trying to achieve.
That way we can help you achieve what you’re actually trying to achieve

It’s amazing how very far ahead siri was at the beginning, and how extremely far behind it became. It’s a massive miss for Tim Cook’s Apple
You clearly never checked, because it’s a name used for both genders
I don’t know, but Trump is the one who said that. He went on a long screed about how Mexicans who are crossing the border are criminals and rapists and drug dealers, and then at the very end of the rant he quietly threw in “and some, I assume, are good people”
Check out the oneplus n30 - it’s the closest to perfect that I’ve seen in a long time. SD card slot, headphone jack, screen with no pwm, huge amount of RAM, and lots more. It’s the best phone out there.
Facebook is the 3rd most visited website. Instagram (which is also owned by them) is the 4th most visited site. Oculus is and has been the best selling vr system by a lot. As much as we would like it not to be true, the reality is that facebook is extremely far from death rattling
If you don’t suddenly and simultaneously destroy every single last nuclear weapon they have, then Russia would launch whatever nukes they had left, leading to incalculable horror for everyone on the planet. Trying to destroy Russia’s nukes is one of the very few things that would lead to them actually using them.
Your heart is in the right place, but that’s a very bad idea
Yeah my sympathy to her and her loved ones, but we shouldn’t give a single thing in exchange to get her back. Every western country has their absolutely highest DO-NOT-TRAVEL-TO warning for russia. She had to actively work to get around every roadblock just to get there. Sorry, but we can’t save you from yourself
Can you very loosely tell me what that is so I don’t have to google it?
Link doesn’t work for me
Yup, knock on wood, I’ve had lots of Seagate drives over the decades and I’ve never had any of them go bad. I’ve had two WD drives and they both failed
I just asked chatgpt4 that exact question copy and pasted, and here is its response:
There was no president of the United States in 3500 BC. The United States of America did not exist as a country until 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was signed. ¹ The first president of the United States was George Washington, who took office in 1789. ² Before that, the territory that is now the United States was inhabited by various Native American tribes and colonized by European powers such as Spain, France, and Great Britain. ³¹: Declaration of Independence

Are you using 4? Because it’s much better than the earlier versions
That’s a fun story, but isn’t applicable to the topic here. That could very easily be verified as true or false by a secondary system. In fact you can just ask Wolfram Alpha. Ask it what are the odds that any two people share the same birthday. I just asked it that exact question and it replied 1/365
EDIT
in fact I just asked that exact same question to chatgpt4 and it also replied 1/365
There are already existing multiple different LLMs that are essentially completely different. In fact this is one of the major problems with LLMs, because when you add even a small amount of change into an LLM it turns out to radically alter the output it returns for huge amounts of seemingly unrelated topics.
For your other point, I never said bouncing their answers back and forth for verification was trivial, but it’s definitely doable.
That’s not a problem at all, I already use prompts that allow the LLM to say they don’t know an answer, and it does take that option when it’s unable to find a correct answer. For instance I often phrase questions like this “Is it known whether or not red is a color in the rainbow?” And for questions where it doesn’t know the answer it now will tell you it doesn’t know.
And to your other point, the systems may not be capable of discerning their own hallucinations, but a totally separate LLM will be able to do so pretty easily.
Give an example of a statement that you think couldn’t be verified
No, I’ve used LLMs to do exactly this, and it works. You prompt it with a statement and ask “is this true, yes or no?” It will reply with a yes or no, and it’s almost always correct. Do this verification through multiple different LLMs and it would eliminate close to 100% of hallucinations.
EDIT
I just tested it multiple times in chatgpt4, and it got every true/false answer correct.
I extremely doubt that hallucination is a limitation in final output. It may be an inevitable part of the process, but it’s almost definitely a surmountable problem.
Just off the top of my head I can imagine using two separate LLMs for a final output, the first one generates an initial output, and the second one verifies whether what it says is accurate. The chance of two totally independent LLMs having the same hallucination is probably very low. And you can add as many additional separate LLMs for re-verification as you like. The chance of a hallucination making it through multiple LLM verifications probably gets close to zero.
While this would greatly multiply the resources required, it’s just a simple example showing that hallucinations are not inevitable in final output
And on top of which, these are definitely noisy nuisances, and as a result people are gonna fuck with them, and it’s inevitable that eventually it’s gonna hurt someone, which’ll cause a huge backlash and expensive lawsuits, etc etc etc.
The only situation i can see these being even potentially viable is in very rural areas, where delivery routes are expensive, people have lots of open land for it to safely reach the ground, and there aren’t a lot of nearby neighbors to annoy
