Earlier in this thread, people mention the counterpoint to this: they Google the information from the LLM and do more reading. It's an excellent starting point for researching a topic: you can't trust everything it says, but if you don't know where to start, it will very likely get you to a good place to start researching.

Similarly, while you can't fully trust everything a journalist says, it's obviously better to have journalism than to have nothing: the "Ikon Value Problem" doesn't mean that journalism should be eradicated. Pre-LLMs, we really had nothing like LLMs in this way.
