There are people who take Wikipedia or Russia Today as a source of unbiased truth

Can't change lazy people

Or worse... think of what a lot of extremists in the middle east take as truth! It's writings waaaaay older than the Wikipedia.

You don’t have to go as far as the Middle East. A significant part of the US electorate takes the Bible as true.

Wikipedia or even Russia today is not advertised to be a source of unbiased truth.

You may be interested to know that some extremist biased guts-be-more-dignified-than-cortex outlets around the world are named "The Truth" (I follow the press from many places).

The failure of education in teaching Critical Thinking around the world is massive. It would be a good idea to focus on how to exploit LLMs to improve the situation.

Also because, given the situation, the same "forces" that promote viscerality shamelessly naming it "The Truth" could have the opposite idea about chatbots and similar areas, exploiting them in their direction...

And LLMs are advertised as such?

Well there is general perception of being "advertised as such" from those who push LLMs and keep hyping them up as "PhD level performing" systems.
