There's a contradiction running through this. You correctly say LLMs are prediction-based rather than truth-based, then immediately: 'so it lies.'

That's where the real story is, and where the accountability sits.

LLM’s are like an over confident drunk slapping you on the back. Which is why my articles are like they are . . .
