OpenAI’s EffortlessQ&A tool for identifying genAI precision — accurate content, inaccurate courier

OpenAI essentially acknowledges this fact in the document: “In this study, we aim to bypass the boundlessness of language models by focusing solely on concise, information-seeking inquiries with a single solution. This narrowing down of the scope is crucial as it simplifies the task of evaluating accuracy, although it raises unresolved research queries regarding whether enhanced performance in brief factual queries extends to extensive factual content.”

Further along in the document, OpenAI provides more insight: “A key downside of EffortlessQ&A is that even though it is precise, it solely assesses factuality within the restricted framework of concise, information-seeking questions with a single, confirmable response. Whether the capacity to furnish factual concise replies is connected to the competence in producing detailed responses enriched with a multitude of facts is still a pending research query.”

Here are the specifics: EffortlessQ&A comprises 4,326 “concise, information-seeking questions.”
