When I ask a question I want a correct answer, not one that is merely statistically likely. Using an AI and not fact checking it means you will never know if the answer given to your question is true. The AI tells you what it thinks you want to hear, not what it knows is true, because it doesn’t know anything, it’s a pattern matcher.

Well, when other people ask a question, they get a page of jumbled answers, and I think we’ve proven that Karen cannot be expected to “do her own research”. AI will give a more correct answer 9/10 times.

Not who you were speaking to, but there’s at least one infamous example about a mycology book on amazon that was presumably copy pasted from LLM output. It is the same issue my professors had with people who copy-pasted from wikipedia. It is mostly right, but there is no real reason to believe it unless you can check the answer, and many people don’t understand that.
