The sum of information I take in is way smaller (by a magnitude 8 or 9) than what the AI takes in. Partly there are clear trails of what I learn (browser history), and also partly my learnings come from the circles I am in - colleagues, friends, education... I can't regurgitate the whole content like a machine, but can constrain the options strongly and also most often say "I am 100% confident this is true, this probably sure but not fully, and this I don't know".
In the case of the GP, checking where something has been learned or inferred by AI is something I learned from reading articles as well as participating in discussions with colleagues over AI explainability/transparency, as well as reading articles and listening to podcasts over journalism and truth in the age of AI. In fact I know what my 3 to 5 biggest influences/sources on that topic are. They might not be the one who invented the topic and answer, but I know who passed it to me.

You’ve seen a thing or two, even if you haven’t read the entire web. You’ve seen and participated in causal processes over and over.
