Because the only time I can be confident in the answers it gives me, is when I already knew the answer before asking, which makes using the LLM pointless. Anything else would require me to do research to fact check it anyway. Might as well skip the LLM and do the research directly.
This is what a lot of people forget about LLMs, if you didn't already know what the answer should be, then you won't know when it's giving you crappy responses. And if you do know what you are talking about and actually do catch it giving wrong information (or think you did), it'll just say "whoops.... you're right!". Sometimes, even if you aren't.
The only things I can feel confident asking an LLM is stuff that I already know.
