LLMs are only as “fact based” as the data they source. An LLM in the time of Galileo would have told you the earth is flat.
Weekly reminder that scholars since at least 500 B. C thought the earth was a sphere, so Galileo's LLM would tell him that, and even tell its size with a reasonable accuracy.
Assuming the sources used for training were the correct ones.
