Contrarian view: I think you need to be critical about which patterns to match. Eg if my inputs are a book on astronomy and one of conspiracy theories, how do I answer "Is the Earth flat?".

Now contrarian to the contrarian view: many of us live in bubble echos and go for the popular opinion instead of critical thinking, so maybe that's a bar too high even for humans.

> you need to be critical about which patterns to match

and how do you do that? By pattern-matching on "high-quality source"

The difference is, every human is capable of critical thinking, whether or not they have been educated to do so or choose to make use of it.

LLMs do not have that capability, fundamentally.
