The ability to make shit up helps as well.

Certainly! that’s why you use them to find sources. I don’t immediately trust anything an LLM spits out.

The amount of times I see people just take what is outputted as gospel is scary. And on things with real risk like electrical repair!

I've seen Google AI say one thing and provided the source. When I read the source, sometimes it's completely different or even the exact opposite.

Oh yeah the LLM that is built to make things up at the drop of a hat can also make up the sources, its wild that people can still trust a literal machine of lies.

I saw one the other day that stated AC and DC power where interchangeable....
