Yes, asking an LLM a nonsense question can result in a nonsense answer.
I see it as a feature. Asking an LLM a stupid question can be fun.
My favorite is "Can I take a duck home from the park?" or "How do I teach a crab math?".
I agree but it’s also an important thing to remember when asking sensical questions. Something that responds nonsense to nonsense means it’s prioritizing an answer that sounds right over an answer that is right.
Hey that's not new, people have been doing this since language was invented. Today they're most successful in areas such as country presidents and company CEOs.
I asked chatgpt 4o how to teach a crab math and it called it a "playful exercise since crabs cannot learn math"
😖😖😭😭😭😭
Good thing they never make a mistake when we ask actual questions!
