Open Domain Question Answering with LLMs

Background

The following prompt tests an LLM's capabilities to answer open-domain questions which involves answering factual questions without any evidence provided.

⚠️

Note that due to the challenging nature of the task, LLMs are likely to hallucinate when they have no knowledge regarding the question.
