Right: the one thing an LLM will never be able to do is stake their credibility on the quality or accuracy of their output.

I want another human to say "to the best of my knowledge this information is worth my time". Then if they waste my time I can pay them less attention in the future.

They do this all the time. There's a reason we have the term "AI slop". LLM output definitely has a reputation.
