Google is the latest California-based tech giant to make a major donation to President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, which will take place on Jan. 20, or Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

Giving a LLM as a source is like giving your hair dresser as a source for things not related to hair dressing, because LLMs are trained on random people's online posts mixed in with actual knowledgeable people's posts.

Saying they got info from a LLM makes them less credible that someone who might actually know what they are talking about. They basically admit they don't have the ability to think for themselves and are just trying to promote using LLMs.

It's not a good source, but knowing they got it from there is useful information.
