The ways in which humans err are very different. You have a sense of your own knowledge on a topic and if you start to stray from what you know you're aware of it. Sure, you can lie about it but you have inherent confidence levels in what you're doing.

Sure, LLMs can improve but they're ultimately still bound by the constraints of the type of data they're trained on and don't actually build world models through a combination of high bandwidth exploratory training (like humans) and repeated causal inference.
