      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!

          Absolutely. It is essential to use these LLMs with an abundance of caution, and to explore a broader range of sources from various viewpoints.

          Caution and breadth of sources should be staples of any historical or contemporary investigation, but alas, the minds of my fellow citizens have been eroded; these practices cannot be assumed to be broadly adopted, and as such, when saying something positive about LLMs, we must provide ample disclaimers and remind the general populace of the dangers and harms these technologies expose us and our surroundings to.
