Yes, exactly. With Search, one evaluates a source or two, weighs veracity, reconsiders the current problem given the new information, then comes to a conclusion. All that's out the window with LLMs. Just trust the output without any critical thought. Even worse, just paste the output to a friend or coworker like it's authoritative.

Here's a quick story: I have one colleague who ran some source code through an LLM to summarize what it was doing. Then they copied the output, pasted it into a document, then claim they "wrote" it and wondered where we could store this document for future reference 🗑️

    Sadly i have to do some projects with other students at university, and some of them just let LLMs do their work for them.

    The amount of times i need to go "you are asking me to fix something that doesn't exist" or "this is literally just wrong" is driving me insane.
