    Conversations with LLMs are absolutely worthless as a source of knowledge.

      they are great for doing a lot of web research into complex subjects, create an inventory of the most provelant discussions and historical precedents and form all that into an easy to read report. Since the llm is not the source of knowledge but the search engine, your comment is absolutely worthless as a coherent reply to my post

        No, LLMs are not a search engine, that’s not how they work. They process and regurgitate text, and even in such “simple” uses there is risk of hallucination.
        Your conversation with a LLM is absolutely worthless as a coherent reply to anything.
