Yes, but how do you know which is which?
That is also a broader epistemological question one could ask about truth on the internet or even truth in general. You have to interrogate reality

That's certainly true, but I think it's also true that you have more contextual information about the trustworthiness of what you're reading when you pick up a book, magazine, or load a website.
As a simple example, LLMs will happily incorporate "facts" learned from marketing material into it's knowledgebase and then regurgitate it as part of a summary on the topic.

If you don't care if it's correct or not you can also just make the stuff up. No need to pay for AI to do it for you.
I'm asking it a question about social dynamics in the USSR, what's the worst thing that'll happen?! I'll get the wrong impression?
What are people using this for? are you building a nuclear reactor where every mistake is catastrophic?
Almost none of my interactions with LLMs "Matter", they are things I'm curious about, if 10 out of 100 things I learnt from it are false, then I learned 90 new things. And these are things which mostly I'd have no way to learn about otherwise (without spending significant money on books/classes etc.)
