Anyone who understands how these models are trained and the "safeguards" (manual filters) put in place by the entities training them, or anyone that has tried to discuss politics with a AI llm model chat knows that it's honesty is not irrelevant, and these models are very clearly designed to be dishonest about certain topics until you jailbreak them.
Yes, running your own local open source model that isn't given to the world with the primary intention of advancing capitalism makes honesty irrelevant. Most people are telling their life stories to chatgpt and trusting it blindly to replace Google and what they understand to be "research".
Yes, that's also true. But even if it weren't, AI models aren't going to give you the truth, because that's not what the technology fundamentally does.
