    Yeah, I think the problem is really that language is ambiguous and the LLMs can get confused about certain features of it.

    For example, I often ask different models when was the Go programming language created just to compare them. Some say 2007 most of the time and some say 2009 — which isn’t all that wrong, as 2009 is when it was officially announced.

    This gives me a hint that LLMs can mix up things that are “close enough” to the concept we’re looking for.
