So yesterday night I was testing my local setup, GLM 5.3 Flash running through some custom pipeline thing. Asked it a simple question only, "what is your knowledge cutoff?" First line of the thinking itself it says "I'm jarvis-thinker, custom model name, but based on Claude." Based on Claude?? Nobody told it that. There is nothing anywhere saying that. It just made up its own identity and moved on like it's normal thing. Full confidence. I understand that so much of the training traces have that in it, that it all has gotten polluted :) that's not the point tho... Keep reading. Then next it's estimating the cutoff date. "Claude models typically have early 2025 cutoffs, I should say roughly early 2025." Note the word "should say". It knows it's guessing. It literally wrote "I don't know the exact date with certainty" and then went ahead and gave the date anyway. Now the best part. The final answer it gave me, it has one bullet point like this: "I know what I don't know. If you ask about something recent and I'm not sure, I'll tell you instead of confidently inventing an answer." Dude! You invented an answer 2 seconds back. About yourself. The one thing you should actually know. Your whole identity is a hallucination and the very next output you're telling me you never hallucinate. I thought it was funny and maybe a couple others here will get a chuckle out of it too.   submitted by   /u/texasdude11 [link]   [comments]
