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.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

I'm so trying hard to channel my sadness and rage into productivity, organizing and connection but every morning still starts with a slow motion, internal fight to even try to move what feels like a leaden body and hollow heart that desires nothing more than to sink, disappearing, into the earth.
