How Reliable Are LLMs When They Operate Outside Their Database Source?

I think the key with LLMs outside database source is managing expectations. They’re not perfect, and they’re definitely prone to hallucination, especially with obscure topics.

If you’re looking for a tool to help, I’d recommend using something like GPT-4 with the “system” prompt to set boundaries. It’s not foolproof, but it can help keep the responses more grounded.
