It can't "admit" that it doesn't "know" something because it doesn't know anything. It's just a bullshit generator.

You really shouldn't use it for research. Anything true it spits out is purely by accident, in the sense of a million monkeys on typewriters eventually producing War and Peace.

It is not an impressive tool. And it's not AI. It's a cheap parlor trick. Just a dumb machine that, given a piece of text, predicts what word would fit next based on a fuzzy statistical model of what words are likely to follow other words. Repeat that process recursively and you can generate a whole bullshit novel, but not a single line of reasoned truth.

And considering what they use for feed stock (erudite social media scrapings, LOL) it truly is garbage in/garbage out.
