Do you mean LLM's or other means to get factual info?
It seems to me that LLM's are not a very good way to get factual information due to limitations of the technology (models try to write as plausible text as possible, not as factually correct as possible) Yet using search engines is a pain due to how many ChatGPT-generated SEO optimized websites are there, which are written not by experts in their fields, but random copywriters. I really have no idea where to get truth about anything at this point.
