ChatGPT would have been so much useful and trustworthy if it is able to accept that it doesn't know an answer. (programming.dev)

Small rant : Basically, the title. Instead of answering every question, if it instead said it doesn't know the answer, it would have been trustworthy.

My first thought is that you could write a program that does something like this:

Receive prompt "how many times does R appear in the word 'strawberry'"
Run the prompt through LLM saying "reword the following into a command to generate code that will answer the question" or something like that
Run the results through LLM
Compile and run the results
Provide the output to the user

Of course, the biggest problem with this system is that a person could fool it into generating malicious code.

That could work in that specific case, but telling the LLM to write code to answer random questions probably wouldn't work very well in general.
