Oh Lord, yeah!
Your comment is wrong
You should check your facts about meat efficiency, soy milk and dairy... And don't just ask ai to tell you what you want to hear...
The reactions to your comment are insane.
A lot of weird things in this comment, like implying that it is OK to use llms to search for surface information. That is just as biased as searching for more complicated info, and the tone of the llm response white-washes it all away.
I like that everyone can agree with this comment, regardless of which side they're on.
Not op, but a search engine is a better starting point than an LLM, because it is a predictable tool, fetching internet resources which can be evaluated on their merits.
The AI presents itself as the actual information.
I see too many people in my daily life saying "the ai summary said..." and it is worse than useless.
The fact that people think LLMs should be trusted as a starting point is heartbreaking to me.
I think that's unreasonable, but that's just me.
I got this vibe from stuff you should know podcast once early on, but after i was mad at them for a while, I still listen, and they seem to do a better job now.
When you're making edutainment for a general audience, there's going to be some things that will seem obvious to experts, so i can't really knock them for that.
But I can knock them for not doing their research and putting out wrong information, especially if they don't retract it later.
Edit: this video is a knitter explaining it well. She doesn't blame Hank either, but explains the reaction and the context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHpGoYlzmog
Is there any way to see a summary of what went on at the trial? How did he possibly get convicted? Mistaken "expert witness?"
