The same way as when you learn something new from some random internet person.
Does what they say conflict with anything you already know to be true?
Is their argument internally inconsistent, does it contradict itself?
Can you corroborate parts of their argument from other independent sources?

- panarky 2y agoNot only do humans invent stuff that didn't happen (hallucination), we're also prewired with a very long list of cognitive biases. It depends a lot on the domain of course, but I'd bet that frontier LLMs already exhibit superhuman capabilities in providing accurate answers in the vast majority of domains.
- squigz 2y agoThe fact that we can notice our own biases and correct them is irrelevant to you?
