I don't get all the negativity unlike most humans LLM can be made to discard bad or incorrect data. Quickly transition to new ways of doing something. A human spending all their life in a room in front of the computer would not can not go through all the millions of scientific papers and journals. They would not look at unlimited amount of code or go through all the past and present law of every country . No human is capable of that.

We are entering into the real culmination of the information age where previously information was available but not exactly accessible or usable for a common person. Which like all tools will result in good and bad outcomes.

Ask any LLM about the cheese inventors in far East china. It'll make something up very plausible. Then all you have to do is to dig through libraries and historic records to verify that this all really is true and is really rooted in reality.

That's why you are better served asking LLMs for factual information when they are connected to tools like search. ChatGPT with search enabled, Bing.chat or https://www.phind.com/ will give you sourced and much more reliable output.

I'm not saying it's not useful. I'm saying that once it learns the content of the data sources that are fed to it, that's it. It will spit out some overlooked connections then stop. Maybe the cure for cancer can be found just by reading in between the lines of millions of old scientific papers but I doubt it.
