I wonder how hard it’d be to make a little voice-assistant with open-source speech recognition and maybe some text language model…

the goal would be like Mega Man Battle Network, having an assistant with customizable personality, and also one that doesn’t feed your data to one of the zaibatsus

realistically though, I guess hooking up “google this for me” to an LLM, while a cute trick, is basically a “generate falsehoods machine” so I guess it’s not *that* practical

I wonder if you could like… hook it up to a search engine and tell it “everything must be backed up by at least two sources”. would that actually have any effect

@gardevoir it would not because LLMs don't actually understand language

@gardevoir like "sources" might trigger the thing to put links or citations but they regularly just make them up

@noiob lmfao yeah actually you’re probably right

it *would* probably just generate citations to fake sources
