Average people understand the limitations of Wikipedia (which has been around for 20+ years). LLMs are new, and people don't understand their limitations yet.

Average people understand the limitations of Wikipedia (which has been around for 20+ years). LLMs are new, and people don't understand their limitations yet. Plus, we're trained from birth to interpret plausible-sounding text as likely correct and true. LLMs generate plausible-sounding text without regard for truth. So now we can either fix the LLM models or become much more critical readers/listeners. Unfortunately I don't see either happening anytime soon.
