Maybe LLMs are narcissists, because there are people that have problems with it, though we'd consider them to have a disorder.

When it comes to eyewitness testimony, I'd counter that we aren't nearly as good at that as we give ourselves credit for. Remembering a memory changes the memory in our wetware.
In fact, I would say most of human development took eons until we started writing stuff down or documenting in a manner so we had a hard record of what the 'truth' was which then eventually turned into the scientific process of repeatability and verification.
