they can't even get their stupid toys they made to play along.
That's what I love about LLMs. They aren't intelligent. They're just really good at recognizing patterns. That's why objective facts are always presented correctly. Most of the pattern points at the truth. To avoid this, they will have to add specific prompts to lie about this exact scenario. The next similar fact, they'll have to manually code around that one too. LLMs are very good at finding the overwhelming truth.
Here's me looking at the hallucinated discography of a band that never existed and nodding along.
There are no objective facts about a band that never existed, that is the point.
Ask them about things that do have enough overwhelming information, and you will see it will be much more correct.
But not 100%. And the things they hallucinate can be very subtle. That's the problem.
If they are asked about a band that does not exist, to be useful they should be saying "I'm sorry, I know nothing about this". Instead they MAKE UP A BAND, ITS MEMBERSHIP, ITS DISCOGRAPHY, etc. etc. etc.
But sure, let's play your game.
All of the information on Infected Rain is out there, including their lyrics. So is all of the information on Jim Thirwell's various "Foetus" projects. Including lyrics.
Yet ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Claude will all three hallucinate tracks, or misattribute them, or hallucinate lyrics that don't exist to show parallels in the respective bands' musical themes.
So there's your objective facts, readily available, that LLMbeciles are still completely and utterly fucking useless for.
So they're useless if you ask about things that don't exist and will hallucinate them into existence on your screen.
And they're useless if you ask about things that do exist, hallucinating attributes that don't exist onto them.
They. Are. Fucking. Useless.
That people are looking at these things and saying "wow, this is so accurate" terrifies the living fuck out of me because it means I'm surrounded not by idiots, but by zombies. Literally thoughtless mobile creatures.
Sounds like you haven't tried an LLM in at least a year.
They have greatly improved since they were released. Their hallucinations have diminished to close to nothing. Maybe you should try that same question again this time. I guarantee you will not get the same result.
Certainly! Here's the English translation of the information about 凤凰血 (Blood of Phoenix):
🎸 About the Band / Project
"凤凰血" (Blood of Phoenix) is not a conventional live-performing band but rather the name of a 2016 EP by the Chinese extreme metal project ObscureDream. This is a one-man black metal/extreme metal project by Zhang Jiangnan (also known as Filth), who is also involved with other projects like Black Kirin and Dirtycreed.

🧱 Musical Style and Themes
The music blends black metal and death metal with traditional Chinese elements, such as epic atmospheres, folkloric themes, and historical references.
Tracks like Farewell to My Concubine reference iconic Chinese stories.
The sound is described as dark, intense, and cinematic, evoking a battlefield-like grandeur.
🎖 Reception and Influence
Blood of Phoenix marks an important shift for ObscureDream from raw black metal to a more refined blackened death metal sound.

Maybe they're just way underground and you've never heard of them
I made the band up to see if LLMbeciles could spot that this is not a real band.
Feel free to look up the band 凤凰血, though, and tell me how "underground" it is.
Does this count?
Also, by nature of being underground they would be difficult to look up. Some bands have no media presence, not even a Bandcamp or a SoundCloud.
Are you having this argument on the principle of defending the undergrounded-ness of bands, or do you actually believe LLMs always get the facts straight?
Eh, more of an exercise in scientific skepticism. It's, possible that an obscure band with that name was mentioned deep in some training data that's not going to come up in a search. LLMs certainly hallucinate, but not always.
An obscure band with that name that has a discography that nobody's ever heard of anywhere, complete with band member names, track titles, etc?
Yeah, pull the other one, Sparky. It plays "Jingle Bells".
Nope.
You can tell because they're not even in the same writing system. Future tip there.
Why would that matter? Band names are frequently translated and transliterated.
Dude. Go be reply guy somehwere else. You bore the fuck out of me.
Sure thing champ 👍 I'll try to keep my responses to platforms designed for commenting
