> And no, asking repeatedly doesn't necessarily give different answers, not even with "can you double check." There are quite a few examples where LLMs are consistently and proudly wrong. Don't use LLMs if 100% accuracy matters.

Here are a few examples where it does not consistently give you the same answer and helps by asking it to retry or double-check:

1) Asking gpt to find something, e.g., HSCode for a product, it returns a false positive after x number of products. Asking it to double-check almost always corrects itself.

2) Quite a few times, asking it to write code results in incorrect syntax or code that does what you asked. Simply asking, are you sure, or can you double check, should make it revisit its answer.

3) Ask it to find something from an attachment, e.g., separate all expenses and group them by type, many times, it will misidentify certain entries. However, asking to double-check fixes it.
