  • I think the question of whether its a slur or not depends more on how the word is used in a culture, more than on its origins. Being from brasil, I’m not sure it’s used as a slur here, but it feels like it means a bit more than just “foreigner”. Foreigner is neutral, while gringo is a foreigner specifically in latin america, which (supposedly) implies a lot of things like being a bit naive, having money,… So gringo is a bit more charged in meaning than foreigner, but I wouldn’t go as far as to say it’s a slur.

















  • That the script could incorporate some checking mechanisms and implement an “i dont know” for when the LLMs answers fails some tests.

    They already do some of that but for other purposes, like censoring, or as by recent news, grok looks up musks opinions before answering questions, or to make more accurate math calculations they actually call a normal calculator, and so on…

    They could make the LLM produce an answer A, then look up the question on google and ask that LLM to “compare” answer A with the main google results looking for inconsistencies and then return “i dont know” if its too inconsistent. Its not a rigorous test, but its something, and im sure the actual devs of those chatbots could make something much better than my half baked idea.
