  • Of course they can't. Any product or feature is only as good as the data underneath it. Training data comes from the internet, and the internet is full of humans. Humans make and write weird shit so so the data that the LLM ingests is weird, this creates hallucinations.

  • Ex Mormon, can confirm. This was my very first thought when reading the headline. "Lol I did this as a pre-teen and teen in LA in the 90s and 00s." This is called "seminary", which in Mormonism does not mean what it means to other religious traditions. "Seminary" just means "scripted religious classes for bored sleepy teenagers taught by an unqualified volunteer parent every school day for 45 mins somewhere off campus before school starts."

    In Mormonism this means "studying" (aka the teacher reads you a standardized lesson plan and asks comprehension questions) the Book Of Mormon, The Pearl of Great Price, The Doctrine And Covenants, the New Testament, and the Old Testament. These five texts make up the Mormon canon.

    In the time and place that I did seminary, it was not formally linked to the public school system. But in predominantly-Mormon Utah, I believe seminary was officially part of the public school curriculum in most (all?) school districts and classes were often held on-campus in school classrooms and counted towards your diploma.

    So, yeah. This shit is nothing new.
