Since sibling comments all seem to have concentrated on idealistic good intent, I would also like to point out a different side of things.

I grew up in socialism. Since we've transitioned to democracy, I learned that I have to unlearn some things. Our encyclopedias were not inaccurate but were not complete. It's like lying through omission. And as the old saying goes, half-truths are worse than lies.

Whether this would be deemed as a lossy encyclopedia, I don't know. What I am certain of, however, is that it was accurate but omitted important additional facts.

And that is what I see in LLMs as well. Overall, it's accurate, except in cases where an additional fact would alter the conclusion. So, it either could not find arguments with that fact, or it chose to ignore them to give an answer and could be prompted into taking them into account or whatever.

What I do know is that LLMs of today give me the same hibbie-jibbies that rereading those encyclopedias of my youth give me.
