ChatGPT deflects questions about sources automatically, inherent in it's pre/post prompt-processing, on purpose. If you try to ask for a source it explains it is a Large Language Model and it is not connected to the internet and thus it cannot give you sources for its information other than it was trained on a large amount of information from the internet originally. It then says that if it were finding sources it would check to make sure they are reputable.

It is a decision from OpenAI to intervene and give this disclaimer. IMO this is one of the worst parts of this phase of the tech- it is way too confident an then when presses it currently doesn't have the ability to cite sources, because that simply ins't how deep learning works on a model like this.

I tried many ways but it will not reveal sources.
