I see this complaint about LLMs all the time - that they're advertised as being infallible but fail the moment you give them a simple logic puzzle or ask for a citation.

And yet... every interface to every LLM has a "ChatGPT can make mistakes. Check important info." style disclaimer.

The hype around this stuff may be deafening, but it's often not entirely the direct fault of the model vendors themselves, who even put out lengthy papers describing their many flaws.



There's evidently a large gap between what researchers publish, the disclaimers a vendor makes, and what gets broadcast on CNBC, no surprise there.

It would have to be called ChatAGI to be like TeslaFSD, where the company named it something it is most definitely not
