I see this argument often on Lemmy and I honestly have some trouble empathizing with it. Why should we demand that LLMs would be perfect, when nothing in life is perfect?
Books and scientific reports can, and often have, falsehoods printed in them. All sensors have error margins. A human expert can be convinced that they’re right and still be wrong.
What I’m trying to say is we shouldn’t trust anything blindly. I absolutely agree that it’s frustrating to see so many people trust LLMs blindly, but used as a tool among others I think they’re most likely going to be very effective in a wide variety of fields.
LLMs are out there solving math problems, helping with biology research and fixing latent bugs in widely used open source software. Yes of course LLMs make mistakes, but you can verify their work.
