…and why would you ask an LLM something you already know about? :)

    I ask for summaries and examples for things I understand well but struggle to explain. Sometimes it’s very helpful, and sometimes it’s just deranged nonsense.

    That’s why I’m less likely to ask it to about something I don’t already know. How would I know if the answer is accurate or coherent? At least with something like Wikipedia, I can track down a source and look for foundational truth, even if it is hidden under layers of bias.

      First things I asked Ollama after installing it were questions about permaculture and BattleTech.

      The BT responses weren’t great and I’m not a botanist…
