Don’t search engines have the same problem? You don’t get back a list of sites that the engine didn’t prefer for some reason.


With search engine results you can easily see and judge the quality of the sources. With LLMs, even if they link to sources, you can’t be sure they are accurately representing the content. And once your own mind has been primed with the incorrect summary, it’s harder to pull reality out of the sources, even if they’re good (or even relevant — I find LLMs often pick bad/invalid sources to build the summary result).


Exactly. I've gotten much more interested by LLM now that i've accepted I can just look at the final result (code) without having to read any of the justification wall of text, which is generally convincing bullshit.

It's like working with a very cheap, extremely fast, dishonest and lazy employee. You can still get them to help you but you have to check them all the time.
