> An LLM trawling the web could very conceivably come up with a non-truthful answer.

LLMs don't uncritically "trawl" the web, ingesting and then blindly regurgitating what they find.

98% of the internet is crap, yet LLM results don't reflect this dismal figure. They're amazingly good at distilling the 2% that is non-crap.




Sure. Probably trawling was the wrong word and conveyed a technically-inaccurate meaning. I'm not sure what the correct word would be.
