Remember the outcry against using Wikipedia as a source in school-work etc? Pretty convinced that the fear that "LLMs just make stuff up" will gradually go away

Remember the outcry against using Wikipedia as a source in school-work etc? Pretty convinced that the fear that "LLMs just make stuff up" will gradually go away as they get better.
Also, at the moment you should view e.g. ChatGPT as your autistic well-read friend who really do know quite a lot of things, but only approximately, and is prone to make things up instead of being found out for not knowing. It's OK to ask your autistic friend how electricity works, but don't expect him to correctly cite the titles and authors of relevant research papers. Just common sense stuff if you really think of the LLM as a brain of compressed information and not a search engine.
