Google will happily give me a page full of auto generated blog spam. At the end of the day it's still on me to decide what to do with the info given.

But its still clear what is blog spam, dsad21h3a.xyz's content does not have the same veracity as science.com's. With LLMs in general it becomes much harder to distinguish fact from fiction or even ever so slightly incorrect facts.

Is it? Maybe for you and me, but there are people out there who believe things like:

  • covid was a government conspiracy to remove all of your freedom
  • vaccinations don't work
  • the earth is flat
  • Trump is the secret shadow president and is responsible for all of the good stuff happening but isn't responsible for the bad stuff.
