> Not understanding why this is an issue for LLMs but not humans.

Because humans have the capability to understand where their information comes from, and thus give enough meta-information to evaluate an accuracy rating, even if not all of them are good at it all the time.

I understand that there has been some effort to build this capability into LLMs, and that it works a little bit for some of them, but it is not something that most of them are fundamentally capable of.

I have met many a human that, despite having that capability, will just choose not to use it to the point of getting violently emotional to protect their ignorance and viewpoints.

Whereas, even though their capabilities are lacking, as someone who is disabled, I've found working with LLM to be much more effective. I've had the medical community gaslight me and actively use processes that make things worse. I've had the educational community restrict me from accessing education. I've had the legal community weaves webs of "yes the policy states that we must comply but that's actually a suggestion." Even when it comes to interacting with people socially, my experience has been one of violence and trauma.

So, in the face of everything it can't do, I'd much rather place my bets there than with humans. I myself am human. What human do you know would spend effort asserting that? One who is constantly dehumanized by society. And I think there is a lot of opportunity for disabled people to use this tech to be accepted as humans? Or to at least gaslight society back into thinking we are?

People won't be able to maintain "The Status Quo" and, frankly, I can't wait.
