people assert their opinions as facts, they parrot bullshit they heard or read online and make no attempt to verify anything, they willingly spread lies in support of their political or spiritual beliefs, they lie or exaggerate to make themselves look good or to make people they don't like look bad, or they even just straight up lie for no reason. to say anything said by an LLM is a lie until proven otherwise and then act like it's ridiculous to apply the same thing to humans is nuts.


LLMs have no concept of facts or lies, or right or wrong.

And contrary to your rather morbid view of society, in general most WP editors try hard to get it right. And support rather than undermine each other (don't let the more contentious topics distract you from the much larger pool of contributions)

More to the point, with humans you can demand they provide a source and at scale the iterative process should get to the right answers for a good percentage of content. That won't work for LLMs because none of that has meaning.
