LLMs have taken up a significant share of my technical/programming questions, because there’s a pretty good chance it’ll give me a correct or mostly correct answer and if it doesn’t, the results aren’t catastrophic. I don’t trust them for much else though, and so I still use a search engine (Kagi) for most other things. For odd exceptions, I ask the LLM to cite its answers and in the event that it can’t do that or provides false citations, I fall back on search engines. These tools are useful, but in my view the level of trust seemingly commonly being placed in them far exceeds their capabilities. They’re not capable of distinguishing confidently worded but woefully incorrect reddit posts from well-verified authoritative pages which combined with their inclination for hallucinations and overeagerness to please the user makes them dangerous in an insidious way.
