The LLMs still hallucinate way too much when there's no computer code involved, but the computer programmers in here won't be aware of that.

Do they really? If your experience is with the free version of ChatGPT, I wouldn't be surprised if you're running a MoE with like 8-12B active params and <100B total.

(Just speculation on params, but I find a lot of "LLMs still hallucinate on non-coding problems" come from people using very-cost-optimised free models and drawing the wrong conclusions).

And the answer is no, it's a combination of paid and free models coming from OpenAI, Claude and Google's Gemini (with this latter one actually badly miss-identifying a WW2 military dictator a couple of weeks ago, wrote about it here [1] ) [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=50256321&goto=threads%...
