I honestly believe all LLM results should come with a disclaimer reminding people that the thing doesn’t (and absolutely cannot) know any facts or do any reasoning; it is simply designed to *sound* like it knows facts and frequently sweeps some up accidentally in the process.
I really think many if not most of the LLM fail cases are people trying to use it as a search engine. It is the opposite of a search engine.

@bsky.app why is almost every single post in my Discover feed in German? I don’t speak German. Every setting I can find is configured for English. I have clicked the show less of this button probably hundreds of times on nearly every German post in my feed, but that is still all I’m seeing.
