Rejecting a “source” that’s not a source is not confirmation bias.

YouTube video uses a source, much like MacRumors uses a source. Rejecting a YouTube video because you don't seem to like or want to trust the independent source and blaming that YouTube isn't the source of info is confirmation bias.

Something I've noticed is that, whenever someone states a shortcoming in LLMs, the response is often you're holding it wrong you're using the wrong model/you're prompting incorrectly.

This is the usual faith argument I find as well. It’s people looking for hope not being objective about what they are evaluating.

JFC......how lazy have we become as nation that we're relying on "artificial intelligence" to do simple tasks like this?

You’re not. LLMs are not being used for any significant things at all. Other than wash over overhiring, lay offs and outsourcing.

I think we’re talking about two different meanings of “source”, which is fine.

In science, a “source” must be verifiable as truthful and accurate (e.g., “I want to believe you, but first I need to review your source data and methodology”.)

OTOH, in more common parlance, a “source” is a just where a statement originated. It doesn’t concern itself with accuracy or truth (e.g., “Who is the source of these lies?”). Independently made statements don’t have any magical properties that make them automatically right (Hello internet echo-chamber!). Judgement must come into it. It’s unavoidable.

1. Video cites sources that publishes their datasets used in benchmarks and you can verify the questions yourself.
2. We're on Macrumors. Oddly, we read articles with sources that are basically "trust me bro". Weird to have suddenly a higher standard for Grok.
