Is this a good summary?

LLMs have solved the language processing problem. Its responses are fluent and rapidly becoming indistinguishable from human output. Or if anything, its responses are too good to be mistaken for an average human.

However, that’s different from producing accurate knowledge and insights. It’s often bullshitting, in the sense that it’s convincing prose often turns out to not reflect reality.

The reference problem seems to be one example of this.
