The assistant is producing links that don’t work and falsely claiming something untrue. What’s going on?
- Assistants are limited to text responses and can't browse the internet or use unapproved tools. They rely on approved data sources and Admin permissions.
- GPT4 and Claude are transformer-based models. They're trained to predict the next word in a sentence using probability, not grammar. For example, if you input 'chair', it predicts the next word based on patterns. But it doesn't really "understand" what a chair is. That's why the assistant might sometimes make mistakes or "hallucinate".
- About links in particular, we recommend NOT to ask for links in your prompts. Models tend to make them up. Use the citation numbers instead (purple numbers) ⬇️
