Oh, then I misunderstood. I thought you were against the notion of trusting a source for information, at all.

I very much agree with your actual point - that no source should be trusted absolutely, and that the only way to get a decent-to-solid idea on a topic is to consume multiple sources on that topic.

However, the problem is that even then people have relatively little time. It's important to have sources that one can rely on to be relatively accurate with a high probability, to get some vague idea about a topic you're not deeply invested in, but do care about somewhat. And I think this is where LLMs can hurt the most.
