It's a feature of text prediction, not a bug. They could fix it, but that would mean drastically increasing the size of the context of each piece of information (no idea what it's called).

    I believe it's just complexity and token/compute usage.

    You end up chasing diminishing returns as well (100% or even 95% accuracy is just not possible for certain areas of study, especially for niche topics).

    It's also 100% unfixable as a premise for the technology. I can enjoy an upscaling algorithm for my retro games to look more detailed at the cost of an odd artifact, but I sure as shit am not taking that risk for information gathering and general study.
