This comes as a bit of a surprise to Christopher Kyba himself, who somehow has a lot of memories of being underground at the SNO site 🤔

My daughter just came up with a great exercise: challenge your students to find the title of your PhD using ONLY LLMs (no Google allowed). If any of them manage, they get gummy bears 😃

I asked five different models, and got five different answers, all five of which were completely wrong 😂

This exercise won't work for my students - at least with brave AI:

The brave AI was pretty good with mine. It took me only one extra specification to find the correct title.

@tewe I'm not quite sure what you mean - was the first answer wrong, and then you gave it a hint of some kind?
@skyglowberlin
In the first answer it said that it hasn't enough information to answer my question correctly. It gave me several persons with the same name, but phds in different research topics.
With a hint to my university it came to the correct title.

@tewe Even when I've provided the University, the LLMs haven't gotten it right. The other hilarious thing has been asking them whether I was a colleague with other PhD students from my group (with whom I've published), because (so far) the LLMs always insist that we were not colleagues.

You can also try "what has [author 1] published with [author 2]". That is usually good for generating entirely plausible sounding titles that are completely made up.
