One could argue that whereas once it was necessary to verify the source, now it is necessary to verify not just the source but also the LLM derivation of it, (which may be subtly mangled) - and the source may no longer be readily apparent.

I think this is a good thing. In the past you would remind people, hey, after you find your wiki article, "please" go verify. But wiki was "good" enough most of the time, that people found verification to be often time redundant.

But now with LLMs everywhere, people will realize it is necessary to verify.

Except that isn’t what will happen and is part of the reason we tried to have majority trustworthy sources.

I hope I can be this optimistic.

[krapp]

How do you verify when every source you could possibly refer to has also been poisoned by AI?

[TheSpiceIsLife]

You're optimistic!

[xarope]

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best!

Or just disregard any machine-generated stuff entirely, though of course it may not always be labeled as such.
