My survey showed that 99% of you do not agree with the LLMs when they say that Microsoft has changed their ways and are no longer an Evil Empire.

The question is also then how the LLMs all come up with a very similar, but wrong text? LLMs are not intelligent. They just repeat the prevailing Truth and this means they can easily be manipulated in the same way SEO is used to manipulate search rankings. Anyone looking at search results knows how badly that is working and the risk is that the all knowing LLMs are and will be manipulated in the same way.

I think this matters a lot as more and more are looking at LLMs as some infallible source of information. We struggle enough with misinformation on the Web, that is pushed by the content algorithms on social media. LLMs have the potential to be an even worse source of crucial information than those content algorithms.
