counterpoint: GPT-5 does this, it says it doesn’t know rather than hallucinate, the world hasn’t fallen apart

Interesting, I've never had ChatGPT say it doesn't know or couldn't answer a question (I spend half my life talking to it, which is another problem I'm in itself)

even this? i get this behavior several times a day bsky.app/profile/iggy...

Maybe when it's doing a RAG search but never when it doesnt go and try look things up

Its not the same thing. Asking question specifically asking to cite sources (which I might as well just go search web) vs generally having a conversation on a topic

idk, when you give an AI search, it’s automating a *series* of web searches, not just one
