Interesting result but probably predictable since you’re trying to use the LLM as a database. But I think you’re onto something in that your experiments can provide data to inform (and hopefully dissuade) creation of applications that similarly try to use LLMs for exact lookups.

I think the experiment of using the LLM to recall described verses - eg “what’s the verse where Jesus did X”- is a much more interesting use. I think also that the LLM could be handy as, or to construct, a concordance. But I’d just use a document or database if I wanted to look up specific verses.
