Hi,

I posted this already on sci.math, sci.logic and
sci.physics. Its probably the most important addition
to current LLMs, i.e. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

But somehow the morons of MSE don't understand a bit
whats going on around and about the world. They are
quite immune to progress in AI. Like stupid cows.

More details on RAG, see here RETRO Project (*) at t=12:01:

What's wrong with LLMs and what we should be building instead

So its not a very new technique now appearing in
generative AIs on the market as well. Some chat bots
are even now able to sometimes show more clearly the

used source documents in their answer. The MSE end
user can still edit a citation by hand to conform
more to the SEN format, if this would be the issue.

Also the MSE end user can explicitly now ask a chat
bot for sources, which he will get most of the time.
Or he can give a chat bot a source for review and

discussion. This works also. So there is not anymore
this "remoteness" of an LLM to the actual virtual
world of documents. Its more that they now inhabit the

actual virtual world and interact with it. Another issue
I see is that in certain countries and educational
institutions, it might the case that working with a

chat bot is something that the students learn,
yet they are not officially allowed to use it on
MSE, because MSE policies are biased on outdated

views about generative AI.
