Can a language model detect that a concept assumed by humanity as true is false? [duplicate]

With the arrival of AI-based search engines, I wonder if these models, being trained on human texts, always offer the solution most accepted by most of humans. This raises the question of whether ...

Why is the effective branching factor used for measuring performance of a heuristic function?

For search algorithms with heuristic functions, the performance of heuristic functions are measured by the effective branching factor ${b^*}$, which involves the total number of nodes expanded ${N}$ ...
