- We trust webpages on Google more than agents giving a random answer. Why?
- The webpages on Google use the "wisdom of the crowd" to bubble up good results.
- But almost no one is particularly savvy at distinguishing the quality of information they read.
- But at least it's crowd-sourced real human judgment.
- Each individual could rely on contextual clues about source and reliability of the information.
- Humans, unit for unit, are less credulous than LLMs.
- The results that LLMs present have been flattened into the same smooth Claudish, hiding the contextual clues of the sources.
