The problem with using LLMs to research information is that this technology generates text, it does not report information.
Generating a map is not the same as finding an accurate map that already exists. Same for any other pieces of information.
And even if it was able to find and report information without modifying it (what a search engine does basically), it cannot in evaluate if this information is accurate.
Adjust your level of trust accordingly.
@Em0nM4stodon Adjust trust to zero. The biggest problem these days with _conventional_ search that I've found is figuring out if what you find was produced by an AI so that you can distrust it.
It used to be that "I found it on the internet" was a reason to distrust it.
Before it was "but it was in a book" was a terrible excuse to trust something.
But now both those problems are far worse.
But there is no going back. What to do?
