For me it was the inappropriate description on the last post. This is not an NSFW community and I didn’t want to read that.

It’s still an LLM, not a “truth machine”. Replying with “did you make that up” will just cause it to respond with the next most likely tokens.

Try this: if you know it’s saying something factual, try your technique. It will likely “correct” itself by slightly rephrasing. Enough rephrasing might change the meaning of the sentence, but there’s nothing checking whether that’s factual before or after.

I’ve had some LLMs become extremely stubborn, and deny that it’s wrong on basic facts like the release year of certain media.

Depending on the application you used to alert you of the AirTag, it’s possible that your phone did not send location data back to Apple.

Apple can track AirTags, because iPhones are programmed to listen for them over Bluetooth Low Energy, and send the ID of the AirTag and location data of the device to Apple.

If your Android phone has an application to listen for BLE devices in the background, keeping track (locally) of which devices it saw in what locations, that application can tell you if you’re travelling with an AirTag (or similar device). It might even be able to interact with the AirTag, such as making it beep or reading its ID. If that application doesn’t send your location to Apple, the AirTag was not able to use your phone to make its location known to the owner.

Therefore, to the owner, AirTags are useless unless an iPhone (or other device that sends its location to Apple) is around.
