Do LLMs "have" the "abillity" to be told they are wrong or incorrect and be able to contest that? (lemmy.world)

I think i've only once flat out told one it was wrong about a specific assertion I quoted and it immediately was able to find its way to what I knew to be the correct claim.

I just wonder what would happen if i was in fact mistaken and I told it confidently it was wrong without elaborating

Completely depends on context for the most part, approach them not as sovereign beings which follow their own perspectives and opinions but as advanced auto-complete, to test this merely ask it a question using niche terminology, identical question depending on the terminology you use will respond biased towards that opinion and perspective, you can get an LLM to admit to anything, to go along with every single thing you said like a blind yes-man or blindly object to every single thing you say even the most basic of facts merely off of how the context your chat has mapped most cloesly onto which parts of its training data for predicting text.
