replyThese models have access to a web search tool. Gemini and ChatGPT both happily search for give info on OpenClaw. Claude denies all knowledge.
What’s more it’s this part that’s very concerning.. Banned for wrong think..

Claude is notorious in my experience to lie directly to your face (even if its baffling) instead of using the web tool. I'll never prompt it without saying 'use web tool' Its ridiculous.
replythe model has no such magical access to tools.

I wish people would continue to reiterate this difference.
I said the model has access to a web search tool. Of course it’s the harness that provides that access.
replyI didn’t spell that out because it’s irrelevant detail, immaterial to the point I was making.
Except GP said they also pointed it to the source website to reference and then had the follow up weirdness.
replyIs the behavior the same with other unknown words? Certainly doesn't seem so from other comments.
replyFair call.
replyI don't think couching it as conspiracy is the right frame either. This is not a one-off. I think a critical eye is warranted.
