Grammtically correct sentences should be the absolute baseline for an llm

@snacks it probably has enough grammatical errors in it’s training data to have “wrong” usages in there and show up tbf, especially for common errors so not rlly that shocking no?

@desea it's only purpose is to produce coreect or at least plausible sentences and the companies behind them put a lot of effort into the training data. It strikes me as pretty odd

@snacks i mean, is a mixed case sentence implausible? it seems v plausible to me unless you have an underlying assumption of the llm adhering language rules not even native speakers adhere to 100%

@desea usually they're much better than the average person with this unless you mess around with settings a lot

@snacks what constitutes “better” in your mind here? more adherent to an arbitrary set of rules? and why is that better inherently

@desea look, i'm just amazed we're pouring billions into machines that write text and then they don't do it correctly

@snacks @desea It's not odd at all, no matter how good an LLM is it'll still occasionally produce incorrect output

@snacks well it doesn’t “know” what correct is or isnt, it can only infer from training data and the inference just said yea thats most likely there
