    It’s an LLM. Odds are it’s hallucinating the sources and they don’t even exist.

    Know what does compile sources for you which are guaranteed to exist and be related to what you’re looking for…? A good old not LLM infected search engine.

    If my plumber replaces their wrench for a rabid gerbil claiming it’ll be just as good I’m definitely changing plumbers.

      Spoken like someone who never even tried to use an LLM and just parrots the bad things they hear online.

      Lemmy is full of LLM haters, I get where they’re coming from but they take it to the extreme every single time.

        I’m not an llm hater. I run one of the biggest Foss genai services. It’s because of that that I know their limitations.

        You said that you’re not going to check every search result, which implied you’re not checking every time source either which will lead you to eventually believe some llm bullshit. And of you’re using an llm just to compile sources that you check with yourself it’s no difference than a search engine without llm
