You can set default instructions to always be factual, always provide a link to prove its answer and to give an overall reliability score and tell why it came to that score. That stops it from making stuff up, and allows you to quickly verify. It’s not perfect but so much better than just trusting what it puts on the screen.
No it doesn’t. That’s simply not how LLMs work. They’re “making stuff up” 100% of the time. If the training data is good, the stuff they’re making up more or less matches the training data. If the training data isn’t good, they’ll make up stuff that sounds plausible.
If you ask it for sources/links, it’ll search the web and get information from the pages these days instead of only using training data. That doesn’t work for everything of course. And the biggest risk is that all sites get polluted with slop so the sources become worthless over time.

Sounds infallible, you should use it to submit cases to courts. I hear they love it when people cite things that AI tells them are factual cases.
