I’d love to agree with you - but when people say that LLMs are stochastic parrots, this is what they mean…
LLMs don’t actually know what the words they’re saying mean, they just know what words are most likely to be next to each other based on training data.
Because they don’t know the meaning of what they’re saying, they also don’t know the factuality of what they’re saying - as such they simply can’t self-fact check.
While I wouldn’t wish death on anyone, it would probably be one of the better things to happen to American politics this year, as you’d essentially be beheading the MAGA movement - it is unlikely that anyone else could retake those reigns with how centred the movement is around Trump specifically, man’s practically worshipped like a new Jesus to them.
