> If you took things for granted before LLMs, you shouldn't have, and if you don't trust trustworthy authors post LLMs, you should.

Blaming LLMs for everything is becoming the preferred excuse for people who like to reject what they read and substitute their own beliefs instead.

It’s true that LLMs hallucinate and are definitely not correct all the time, but the way people are using that as an opening to reject everything on the internet and elevate their own prior beliefs to the top is strange.

Most people don't know humans hallucinate daily. Right now your brain is removing visual information by clipping out the image of your nose and replacing it with what the scene behind it theoretically looks like.
IMO ChatGPT 5 will just think the answer to all problems is going to be "humans hallucinate too?!?!".

Maybe it will be right, but the best part? We'll continue to be reminded of this fact.

Thanks for reminding us all.
