Comment on What are the most popular conspiracy theories?
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 month agoDiscussing conspiracies is basically the worst case for mainstream LLMs. They’re both extremely sycophantic (so they try to figure out and tell you what you want to hear), and not grounded in real references.
If you must, use something like z.ai’s deep research mode, with a single even, neutral question.

So is z ai an ai which uses more critical thinking patterns to make it better?

It’s GLM 4.6 underneath, which is a good model and has a really helpful “default” tone without a system prompt. And it’s open weights! I host it locally, sometimes.
But what really sets the website apart is its “deep research” tool, specifically. It’s just good at scouring the web for references, relatively speaking.
