Since LLMs are trained on "random people online", why are they not of equal rank?

For me, for now, they are. And being "many random people" and not "random person", they average out into something much more trustworthy than even recommendations from most individuals I know personally.

Operative word is "for now" - LLMs caught entrepreneurs unprepared, but they'll catch up and poison this too, same thing that happened with search giving rise to SEO.

I see LLM as the average of multiple random people and traditional common sense from wikipedia and books.
