I'm going to hold them to the same standard no matter if they use crappy sources, plagiarize, or hallucinate on their own. If someone asked, when and if I am in a position where I have to tell them, I would remind them that LLMs prioritize their own confidence over correctness.
LLMs aren't a special case to me. Glue doesn't belong on pizza and you shouldn't eat one rock a day but we've been giving and getting bad advice forever. The person needs to take ownership for the output and getting it right, no matter the source, is their responsibility.

- ryandvm 6mo agoYeah, it is not clear to me that the average person is going to do any better with googling then they are with asking an LLM. At least the LLM is mostly the average of all published knowledge (and misinformation). I feel like people that ask questions like this must have much smarter friends and family members than I do. I know people that still believe in Pizzagate or chemtrails or that vaccines cause autism. Clearly finding reputable information sources is not a strong suit for a lot (half?) of the population.
- giantg2 6mo agoI think they are a little special. People can really turn their brain off and not even know about the source. They don't need to read theough a source or reformat the content to the typical blurb arguments. They can read it off the screen without even understanding what the words mean, which is much harder for most other sources.
