Even if the words are a lie? Misleading? False?
I'm not even talking about LLMs. What if it's propaganda designed to influence your thinking, possibly against your own interests; are those still valuable words that you'd cherish reading?
My point is that the source matters, intent matters, and authenticity matters. To me, anyway.
