What is your point? That obtaining absolute knowledge of truth is impossible, and therefore anything claiming to be true is worthless?

In general, be careful not to kill "good" on the way to attempting to obtain "perfect" in vain. And GPT4's hallucination rate is quite low at this point (may of course depend on the topic).

Not at all. I'm coming from the opposite side saying that anything can be "verified" true if you just continue to repeat it as truth so that people accept it. Say often, say it loud. Facts be damned

This has always happened and will continue always happening. Best not get caught up on it, just put people right when you feel you have the facts to back it up.

10 years ago, I would have agreed with you. Today, facts are useless. Once someone has picked a side, there is no changing it for the majority of people.

Yes but that's the argument by repetition (ad nauseam) fallacy
