This is a fundamental problem for machine learning (ML) because ML models need to be trained on input-output pairs ie problem-solution pairs for language models. To make them output "I don't know", you need to collect all problem-"I don't know" pairs which is not possible.
Come and join us. We're looking for a Research Assistant/Associate in Heritage Science to lead on the 2D GMM analysis of letter outlines extracted from high-resolution photographs of the faces of typographic punches, and Baskerville's printed pages.
We’re hiring! We need a geometric morphometrics specialist to help us with something rather special. Are you that person? Or can you help us find them?
As a result of the Bodleian Folk archives being no longer available from today, I'd like to try to get an idea of how many of us use it, how, and how often. It's such a vital resource for so many of us. I've set up an email at [email protected] for this so please do feed back
In short, language models & in general, generative models are doing a sort of "soft" retrieval - a result reconstructed by weighted averaging of different snippets/parts destilled from the original data. They don't think nor reason.
People have too inflated sense of what it means to "ask an AI" about something. The AI are language models trained basically by imitation on data from human labelers. Instead of the mysticism of "asking an AI", think of it more as "asking the average data labeler" on the…

Truth
For public service improvements and productivity gains, the people who will make sense of AI are not the people making AI. I see it as a social experiment. We need to quickly expand the pool of collaborators. We need new people asking new questions.
