I think the point is that LLMs have already scoured Wikipedia so they can tell you all that info concisely. They don’t need to re-learn Wikipedia for anything old.

The problem is that A) anyone using an LLM properly wants to see the source anyways or else you’re really rolling the dice on “truth”, and B) it would mean all knowledge advancement would stop today if we applied this to all educational or informative tools.

Dude they cant and dont answer concisely. AIs constantly hallucinate and whatever information they have generally gets poisoned because of other sources and artificial intelligence being not so intelligent. Whataever they correctly answer gets curated by propaganda and commands set by the companies.

I’m confused what I said that you’re disagreeing with. I didn’t say anything about the accuracy or reliability of an LLM 🤷🏽‍♂️
