This is probably because of a lack of training data, where it is referencing only one example and that example just had a mistake in it.

The one example could be flawless, but the output of an LLM is influenced by all of its input. 99.999% of that input is irrelevant to your situation, so of course it’s going to degenerate the output.

What you (and everyone else) needs is a good search engine to find the needle in the haystack of human knowledge, you don’t need that haystack ground down to dust to give you a needle-shaped piece of crap with slightly more iron than average.

There’s something weird about the naming scheme here.

1. Article about X₀ (Air Bud)
2. List of articles about X₁ (Dogs playing basketball)
3. Lists of articles about X₂ (Dogs playing sports)
4. List of lists of lists

Level 3 should have been “List of lists of articles”. And if 4 had been fully specified as “List of lists of lists of articles about X₃”, it wouldn’t contain itself.

It might help your comment if you replaced some theys and thems with the actual people you’re referring to. It’s very unclear whether you’re talking about Hamas, the Israel government, the Palestine people living in the Gaza strip, the Israeli people, etc. There’s a lot of different groups involved in this conflict, all with their own history and motives. It’s important to be clear about who is doing what.

The real “scorched earth” strategy:

1. Format system drive
2. Reinstall Arch
3. Keep all your files on the data drive
4. Run your personal setup script to put everything back how you like it
5. (Optional) Be happy

Edit: forgor 6. Tell everyone you use Arch
