The point is that the statement "LLMs should just cite their sources, what's the problem" is nonsensical, and the reason it's nonsense has to do with how LLMs actually work.
- afiori 1y agoCiting sources is not a magic that makes what you say true, it just makes statement more easily falsifiable. LLMs can cite sources as well as any human, that is with a non-trivial error rate. LLMs are shit for a lot of things but the problems are with the quality of the output whether they work by magic, soul-bending, matrix multiplication, or whatever is irrelevant.
