Why ChatGPT cannot cite page 14 of Normalie 103

A general chat writes sentences. A proposal needs document, edition and page. That is a different job.

KEY TAKEAWAY AT A GLANCE

Generic chatbots hallucinate sources and lack Swiss jurisdiction awareness. A tender brief requires verifiable facts – Leistera provides exact page numbers or explicitly declares 'not found'.

Table of contents:
  • §1No passage, no signature
  • §2The chat stays useful

Firms use ChatGPT because it is already there. For a sentence, that is enough. For a width in a preliminary study, it is not. The figure sits in a city standard that points to a technical norm. Which edition applies is on the title page, not in the prompt.

No passage, no signature

A plausible figure from the model’s memory looks like specialist work. It is not. Whoever signs must find the passage in seconds. Document, edition, page. If one of the three is missing, Leistera does not answer.

  • ChatGPT does not know your folder unless you upload it every time.
  • It does not treat draft, duplicate and superseded edition as the first step.
  • Text search does not find the figure in the drawing. 8.00 m often sits only on the plan.

The chat stays useful

Smooth a paragraph, check a translation, shorten a mail: yes. A proposal that goes to an authority: no. Leistera is the second job. ChatGPT is the first.
