    No, I’m saying you should link to actual sources instead of whatever an LLM decided to barf out (which may or may not be rife with inaccuracies).

    Posting garbage like that is both a recipe for spreading misinformation (and we have strong evidence that LLMs greatly increase the potency and spread of misinformation), as well as devolving intellectual discourse into users just tossing slop back and get forth at each other. It would be trivial to make an LLM say the opposite of what you claim. So why should one trust the text spewed out by your LLM vs the text spewed out by someone else’s? Regardless if what you say is true, giving us the garbage from an LLM as “supporting evidence” completely undermines what you are trying to say.

    Find real sources and link them. It raises the quality of discussion and makes the internet an ever so slightly better place.

      You’ve already been told by someone else that this is not inaccurate and you are fully able to research it yourself. If you want to “raise the quality of discussion” please do so. So far I see very little evidence of that.

        The slop may happen to mostly be correct this time. Did you actually follow it up and verify it was true before you posted it?

        Or did you post a question to Google and copy out the LLM response as if it said something true?

          “The slop may happen to mostly be correct this time.” I’m glad you understand that now. There really isn’t anything else to discuss. This was never about AI Slop. That’s just a distraction.
