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

You can use LLMs for things that where not possible or very difficult with traditional search engines.

E.g. I wanted to know what kind of brake my daughters bike used. Traditionally I'd either have to research all possible brake types and compare then with her bike or take a photo and post it to a forum or reddit or something and hope someone knows the answer.

With ChatGPT (I only use the free version) I just took a photo and asked what kind of break it was and got a (actually good) list of 2 possible brakes. It was one of the two.

Very convenient. However, I'm aware how LLMs work and what their limitations are. Of course also the environmental issues.

BTW: It was a band brake.
