Maybe but then thats the same wether I talk to chatGPT or a human isnt it? except with chatgpt i instantly verify what im looking for, whereas with a human i cant do that.
I wouldn't assume that it's the same, no. For all we knock them unconscious biases seem to get a lot of work done, we do all know real things that we learned from other unreliable humans, somehow. Not a perfect process at all but one we are experienced at and have lifetimes of intuition for.
The fact that LLMs seem like people but aren't, specifically have a lot of the signals of a reliable source in some ways, I'm not sure how these processes will map. I'm skeptical of anyone who is confident about it in either way, in fact.
