> For me, LLMs are just another source of information with a different UI, analogous to newspapers, TV documentaries, Wikipedia, Google search, YT talks/documentaries, even the majority of informational non-fiction books, and research papers.
With all due respect (not trying to be offensive at all) but this is insane to me.
All those sources of information you cited have a million incentives to provide fairly correct and checked information. But probably more importantly, they have even more incentives to NOT provide false information. At a minimum, their careers, reputation, recurring work, brand, etc... is on the line.
An LLM has zero incentives to provide you with true information, beyond a couple of md files with instructions. If it gets it wrong, there is zero accountability, just an -oh, you're absolutely right- response and move on.
I agree there is a lot of human bias in the world, but surely we can't even put in the same order of magnitude both types of biases!
