Worse, since generating a whole bunch of potentially correct text is basically effortless now, you’ve got a new batch of idiots just “contributing” to discussions by leaving a regurgitated wall of text they possibly didn’t even read themselves.
So not only those are not fact checking, when you point that you didn’t ask for a LLM’s opinion, they’re like “what’s the problem? Is any of this wrong?” Because it’s entirely your job to check something they copy-pasted in 5 seconds.

My friend told me that one of her former colleagues, wicked smart dude, was talking to her about space. Then he went off about how there were pyramids on Mars. She was like, “oh … I’m quite caught up on this stuff and I haven’t heard of this info. Where can I find this info?” The guy apparently has been having super long chats with whatever LLMand thinks that they’re now diving into the “truth” now.
