    Not sure if I buy this argument. Couldn’t you say the same thing about using search engines to look up information on a topic? That you just “skimmed through some bullshit”? Not everything you find on the internet is necessarily true and the same applies to AI

      There is a fundamental difference between searching for information and reading something provided for you. That act of active filtering and involved searching makes a lot of difference, it’s a skill that needs to be hoaned. Same goes to learning the skill of figuring out how to spot lies, desception, or just mistakes. None of which works for llm because llm has exactly the same confidence and markers of truth for every point.
