Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Watching #4Corners tonight and all the Libs on camera are saying how Aussies didn’t get to know Peter Dutton during the campaign properly and my partner looks across at me and says “Nah, we knew him, we just thought he was a cunt” and never has a truer word been spoken …

Very good explanation of our grid in Australia, why renewables force prices low or even negative most days, why we don’t need huge “base load” generation and why nuclear won’t fit. #auspol. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...
