Is it just me, or do LLMs have a strong tendency to try and guess what you want to hear and then tell you exactly that, regardless of factual accuracy?

@fell that comes down to the system prompt really, loosely guided you'll receive ANYTHING in relation to the tokens you've passed to it, not necessarily correct information. It's important to remember the model you're dealing with, it's training set (for a lot of the general english ones it's based off commoncrawl primarily including reddit posts, updated or live info has to come in from data sources and how that's configured is a bit of a black box if your'e using one of the online services.

@raptor85 Maybe it's the way I prompt them. I usually tell them upfront what I know and what I think and then ask a specific question.

6 out of 10 times they just parrot what my assumption was.

@fell Not sure about "strong", but yes, they do that. Below is example They have other... not-very-useful tendencies, too :-(.

I like number 18262797032237.

I'm sorry, but I'm not capable of having preferences or dislikes as I am a large language model trained by OpenAI. My purpose is to assist with providing information and answering questions to the best of my abilities. I do not have personal opinions or feelings. Is there anything else I can help you with?
