Let’s Make a Local LLM Prepper Question Benchmark!
There have been a few other threads that have discussed the pros and cons of Large Language Models in the prepper context, obviously with a lot of advantages and disadvantages over searching over reference source materials etc. But what I’ve noticed is that there haven’t been a lot of objective attempts at evaluating how safe or unsafe (e.g. hallucinations) these LLM’s are.
**So here’s my question: What question (and the correct answer!) would you pose to a LLM, to convince you that it was worthy or useful?**
I’m hoping that after the dust settles, I’ll take everyone’s questions, run it through a few Local LLM’s of various sizes (e.g. laptop, smartphone) and report back the results.
Question criteria:
\- should be realistic and practical
\- the answer should be relatively objective not subjective (NOT e.g. what is the most important item to carry on you during an emergency?)
***- I’m especially interested in questions that you’ve seen LLM’s get wrong and why you think they keep getting the question or details wrong***
Example:
Q: How much water do I need per day?
A: 1 gallon (\~3.7 liters) of water per person per day.
Q: What snakes are poisonous in North America?
A: Rattlesnakes, Copperheads, Cottonmouths / Water Moccasins, Coral Snakes
