"You're holding it wrong." A language model isn't a fact database. You need to give the facts to the AI (either as a tool or as part of the prompt) and instruct it to form the answer only from there. That 'never' goes wrong in my experience, but as another layer you could add explicit fact checking. Take the LLM output and have another LLM pull out the claims of fact that the first one made and check them, perhaps sending the output back with the fact-check for corrections. For those saying "the models will improve", no. They will not. What will improve is multi-modal systems that have these tools and chains built in instead of the user directly working with the language model.
