LLMs, as the name suggests, are language models - not knowledge machines. Answering questions correctly isn’t what they’re designed to do. The fact that they get anything right isn’t because they “know” things, but because they’ve been trained on a lot of correct information. That’s why they come off as more intelligent than they really are. At the end of the day, they were built to generate natural-sounding language - and that’s all. Just because something can speak doesn’t mean it knows what it’s talking about.
