Why does ChatGPT lie? And why can’t this be fixed easily?

I’ve tried asking it to write arguments and support them but the references are fake. It apologizes when confronted but does it over and over again even when I ask it not to provide fake references.

Think of it this way: if a child watched you dial numbers on a phone, that child would figure out that dialing numbers is how you call people. The child might even be able to imitate you perfectly and dial the same number.

But what happens if you ask the child to call, let’s say, the local library? They’re just gonna hit random numbers. They’ve learned to imitate the behavior, but they have no idea how it actually works. That’s more or less what these AIs are currently doing. They’re extremely good at imitating us.
