IDK, but this seems like wankery to me. Just google it if you want to know about it, the AI isn't an "all knowing being" nor "the arbitrer of truth".

I have a feeling that a new logical fallacy will soon emerge (if it isn't already widespread on certain places of the internet), that will be "X is true because the LLM said so".

It's really an extension of "Would some really do that? Just lie on the Internet?" But now "Would AI, which is built to create content like what people post on the Internet, really just lie?"

Seems like almost everyone understands that it hallucinates.
