This makes sense but how do you square this with the fact that this article is about how it is simply another model making these decisions about whats an acceptable input? Like, if it is a matter of trust, its in principle the same kind of trust your putting into the model to begin with. In that, I don't get how I could ever "trust" one of these things to tell me any kind of truth. Even if its totally "uncensored" its just reading webpages, but at least with webpages I can see some citation. Like even Wikipedia, it can really just tell me something that I will have to verify elsewhere. How could one trust something that gives different answers to the same question if you ask it enough?
