Yea, I don't understand why people use LLMs for "facts". You can get them from Wikipedia or a book.

Use them for something creative, write a short story on spec, generate images.

Or the best option: give it tools and let it actually DO something like "read my message history with my wife, find top 5 gift ideas she might have hinted at and search for options to purchase them" - perfect for a local model, there's no way in hell I'd feed my messages to a public LLM, but the one sitting next to me that I can turn off the second it twitches the wrong way? - sure.

Because web search is so broken these days, if you want a clean answer instead of wading through pages of SEO nonsense. It's really common (even) amongst non-techy friends that "I'll ask ChatGPT" has replaced "I'll Google it".
