And yet human civilization has survived the fact that many humans are wrong, lying, delusional, etc. There is no assumption that everything in our personal training set is accurate. In fact, things work better when we explicitly reject that idea.
LLMs do not rely on 100% factually accurate inputs. Sure, you’d rather have less BS than more, but this is all statistics. Just like most people realize that flat earthers are nutty, LLMs can ingest falsehoods without reducing output quality (again, subject to statistics)
