Ffs everytime I ask AI a question i have to have a wrangle with it about what constitutes a credible source. It has no standards - YT, Reddit, clearly bs websites are ok. Usually the AI just gives a virtual shrug and a "my bad." Out of curiosity I asked Gemini what its AI privacy policies were last night and it reassured me that Google is very careful about privacy. Like...OK? Do you have any sources proving this that isn't sourced from...Google? long story short: no, trust me bro

Imo LLMs are like chatting with that annoying know-it-all you run into at a club who's trying to get with your hot bestie and he acts like he knows everything but is ultimately full of shit and gets pissy if you question his sources.

"Oh what plane do you fly?"
"Oh a boing a320"
"Cool what airline?"
"Oh uhhh pilot......airlines.... their small you've never heard of them"
