       I keep seeing people saying they are happy to use AI text generators as sources of factual information, because they're confident that when the thing generates an inaccurate answer they'll easily spot it. Speaking from my experience of 20+ years of professional fact-checking: the errors you can spot easily are not the ones you need to worry about.

       to put it another way: if you're so sure you know the right answer, why did you ask the question?

       @eleanorrees To me it's almost like someone that would say "Everything that I write is pure facts, nothing else", which is arrogant bullshit.

       @eleanorrees Exactly. If you're an expert, you can judge the results with some accuracy; also if you're an expert, you didn't need the LLM.
