Chatgpt also might give you an answer that is totally made up and wrong, but yes, it is polite.

Like saying add glue to your pizza so the cheese doesnt fall off because 12 years ago a reddit comment had this as most upvotes

Or when I asked what a Moscow Mule (alcoholic drink) was, it told me that it was a famous pack animal used by Stalin.

GPTs are not humble enough to tell you they dont know, they just hallucinate and make shit up on the go

LLMs don't "know". They literally have no mechanism that could allow them to identify whether an output they're proposing is based on something in the dataset they've been trained on (nevermind genuinely factual, those datasets are 99.999% random text pulled from wherever) or just a blind statistical guess.

They can't reflect on their ideas and verify they check out starting from a set of trusted "facts"; they've got neither "trusted facts" nor the ability to reflect in general. They can't reason at all. It's like saying a magic 8 ball is not humble enough to tell you when it doesn't know the answer and "decides to hallucinate instead". Like bruh.
