Such an odd complaint about LLMs. Did people just blindly trust Google searches before hand?

If it's something important, you verify it the same way you did anything else. Check the sources and use more than a single query. I have found the various LLMs to very useful in these cases, especially when I'm coming at something brand new and have no idea what to even search for.
