    Wouldn’t it make sense for an ai to provide a confidence level though?

    I’ve got 3 million bits of info on this topic but only 4 of them lead to this solution. Confidence level =1.5%

      It doesn’t have “3 million bits of info” on a specific topic, or even if it did, it wouldn’t be able to directly measure it. It’s worth reading a bit about how LLMs work behind the hood, because although somewhat dense if you’re new to the concepts, you come out knowing a lot more about what to expect when using them, what the limitations actually are and how to use them better if you decide to go that route.
