"The goal of a CiteCheck benchmark should not be to check "Does the cited document say something related to the claim" but "Does the document state or very directly support the exact claim it's being cited about" Here are two failures from the last generation of LLMs that made an impression on me: Case 1: I was asking about pharmacokinetics of a medication I was considering asking for. The LLM delivered a sage report which included the claim that peak blood concentration happened X hours after oral consumption. Given that the drug had a relatively short half-life that didn't make sense to"

"The thing about AI successionists is that they think they've had the incredible unshared insight that silicon minds could live their own cool lives and that humans aren't the best possible beings. They are utterly closed to hearing about how you could KNOW THAT and still disgree on the factual prediction that this happy outcome happens by EFFORTLESS DEFAULT when they cobble together a superintelligence. They are so impressed with themselves for having the insight that human life might not be 'best' that they are not willing to sit down and have the careful conversation about what exactly is"

"I've previously found LLMs to suck at "Track down cited pages/references and see if they support the citer's claim." LLMs hallucinate what the cited document says if the citer's claim sounds LLM-plausible. I wish a CiteCheck benchmark for this kind of task would get put together by someone so labs would try to get higher scores on it. Improving LLMs' abilities to check whether claims are supported by citations might help mitigate some of the damage that social media and slop are doing to our ability to live in a shared reality. Also then we get to run the resulting citation-checker over"
