Large language models like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini predict likely word sequences rather than provide factual information. These AI systems can generate convincing-sounding responses, but they lack source attribution and may produce inaccurate or unreliable information through hallucinations. Treating LLM outputs as authoritative sources is problematic, as they represent common word patterns rather than verified truths. The piece emphasizes the risks of over-trusting AI-generated content, particularly in critical domains like medicine and law.
