Giving a LLM as a source is like giving your hair dresser as a source for things not related to hair dressing, because LLMs are trained on random people’s online posts mixed in with actual knowledgeable people’s posts.
Saying they got info from a LLM makes them less credible that someone who might actually know what they are talking about. They basically admit they don’t have the ability to think for themselves and are just trying to promote using LLMs.
I think a lot of people are missing the point, but the commenter that replied to you got it.
What I’m saying is that many people are happy to BS and repeat things that they’ve read or heard as if it were fact. Meanwhile they did get it from their hairdresser. But because they repeated it with confidence, someone else would then repeat it because they read it on the internet from someone who seems to know what they’re talking about.
The cycle continues.
But if people say “I heard from my hairdresser/LLM”, then people know to take it with a grain of salt, or will call someone out on it.
I’m not saying the LLM is a good source, nor am I saying it’s good when someone uses one as a source. I’m saying it’s good when someone mentions that an LLM is their source for something they’re saying.
It’s not a good source, but knowing they got it from there is useful information.
Thank you for getting what I meant, lol
