Teach your LLM to answer with facts, not fiction

One of the fun things I like to do with these examples is follow along at home. I don't have access to GPT-4 because I refuse to give money to OpenAI, but with GPT-3.5, "What is an LLM hallucination" actually gives:

- The usual knowledge cutoff warning

- An explanation of what a hallucination is

If (in a separate conversation) I give GPT-3.5 the exact prompt that explains what an LLM is, I get gaslighted instead. GPT-3.5 attempts to tell me that LLM stands for "Legal Master of Laws". Then it gives the knowledge cutoff warning, and then the same correct explanation Myscale got.

The rest of this article appears to be trying to turn GPT into a frontend for search engines. I don't know why people keep trying to do this.

As jwells89 mentioned, LLMs can extract the intention from questions and generate better queries for a search engine or database.

I don't need LLM to assume my intention, I need exact matches for keywords.

Then you don't want an LLM at all; exact keyword matches are something we did in the mid 90s, one of the specific value-adds of an LLM is that it doesn't get stuck when you've only got a half-remembered inexact quote or vague description.

LLM, confusingly, does stand for legal master of laws, despite the acronym not quite fitting. It's an advanced law degree some lawyers get. ChatGPT isn't gaslighting you! That's a true fact.
