The article did not test if the issue was specific to robots.txt or if it can not find other files.

There is a difference between doing a poor summarization of data, and failing to even be able to get the data to summarize in the first place.



> specific to robots.txt > poor summarization of data

I'm not really addressing the issue raised in the article. I am noting that the LLM, when asked, is either lying to the user or making a statement that it does not know to be true (that there is no robots.txt). This is way beyond poor summarization.


I would say it's orthogonal to it. LLMs being unable to judge their capabilities is a separate issue to summarization quality.


I'm not critiquing its ability to judge its own capability, I am pointing out that it is providing false information to the user.
