LLMs hallucinate, & they hallucinate WORSE on topics we don't already know/write a lot about. This creates a huge accuracy gap.

This week I tested ChatGPT on Beethoven & Smyth to show how big this gap is & why it matters. It made up a LOT.

I'm hugely excited about the return of the Bury Psalter to @stedscath.bsky.social; the donation of the manuscript to the Cathedral means that it can stay in Bury. Along with the Bury Chronicle at Moyse's Hall Museum it's one of only two of the Abbey's books that remain in the town they were made for
