Janna LuEvaluating LLMs on Real-World Forecasting Against Expert Forecasters
"An LLM does better when fed news articles from AskNews over Perplexity, mostly because the news articles are more up-to-date. Perplexity sometimes would return news articles that are a few years old, which could be helpful but often confuses the model."
