> I can prompt an LLM to refute this and it would give me 5 reasons ... Hard to read this and really come away with a sense of what the truth is.
Are you arguing a meta point that there is no such thing as truth because LLMs can make you any counter argument to you want? That seems bleak. Argue against the actual points of the article.
Sorry, I'm not going to spend an hour reading every LLM article to figure out if its truthy, and then come up with the counter arguments against it, and on and on. The whole point of a human source is that depending on the source, I can already trust that they did some leg work to get the data and do the research, and they already have something to their name that I can trust. LLMs write in such a way that everything looks believable, so you spend 10x the time trying to find what is false.
We're just talking about one article here, but its an ocean of garbage being generated out there, yeah...go argue against all those and you'll waste your whole life.
What points? Does the article make any points? I couldn't find any. For instance, point 1 ends with
"A foreclosure suit is not a lost home — most end when the owner, or the owner's lender, pays — but the pressure is the point."
Which makes no sense whatsoever. I thought they were making a housing crisis worse by forcing foreclosures, but now apparently "the pressure is the point." The point of what, exactly?
