It should link to one of the articles about TCP it used as a reference to write that info blurb, not the TCP spec.

The problem is that those links doesn't link to where it got that text, it links to whatever that text linked to. Saying it is giving links is like saying that when I copy paste an article with links I am providing links to the source. No I am not, I am plagiarizing including plagiarizing those links.

So, it has read some TCP tutorials and wrote that blurb based on those. Don't you think it is fair that it links one of those to give credit? LLMs aren't capable of writing tutorials based on specs, they write tutorials based on tutorials it has seen, it should link to those.

Presumably it can't link them, because it's been train on the data, not built on top of it. Gpt model doesn't include the sum of all training data, that's not how machine learning works at all (and overfitting on such a large and diverse dataset would be a monumental fuck up)
