Asking ChatGPT about the VM to show how confidently it claims dumb things

[Ruby Novacna]

Is it possible to ask IA to add the references, otherwise it seems to come from myths and legends?

I don't know if this is true for all LLMs but ChatGPT prefers to hallucinate references than admit it has no idea what its sources are. I suppose that all sources of data are amalgamated in the Large Language Model so getting a reference for a specific piece of information is as impossible as unscrambling eggs.

ChatGPT often answers this type of query with made-up references (books and articles) that sound plausible but don't exist. See for example: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

Dang! Exposed

I heard that your job at the European Space Agency was Head of Security for Area 408, where the Martian author of the VMS is being imprisoned.
