People ask Reddit and Quora and read the confident responses cautiously. I’m certain people will learn to do the same with LLMs. These are still new tech and people are figuring it out.
On Reddit/Quora there is more context. You can see other replies, upvote count, and evaluate based on "fishy-ness" of the overall tone of writing. But with an LLM chat every answer has the same obnoxious college essay format, where it writes an entire blog article to say one thing. I find it pretty hard to gauge if something is plausible or not. If I know I'm going to have to verify with a web search anyway, I might as well go straight to the web search most of the time.
I feel bad for poo-pooing the safety efforts. When it goes properly mainstream it will be amazing the dumb things people will believe about it and try to do with it.
