Are you going to spam this same link in every single thread about LLMs on HN? People have provided good arguments refuting whatever you're trying to say here, but you just keep posting the same thing while not engaging with anyone.
No, the answers aren't just "plausible", they are correct the vast majority of the time. You can try this for yourself or look at any benchmark, leaderboard or even just listen to the millions of people using them every day. I fact check constantly when I use any LLM, and I can attest to you that I don't just believe that the answers I'm getting are correct, but that they actually are just that.
But they apparently actually don't get better even though every metric tells us they do, because they can't? How about making an actual argument? Why is correctness "not a property of LLMs"? Do you have a point here that I'm missing? Whether or not Kahneman thinks that there are two different systems of thinking in the human mind has absolutely no relevance here. Factualness isn't some magical circuit in the brain.

In the same way there can exist no piece of clothing, piece of tech, piece of furniture, book, toothpick or paperclip that is environmentally friendly; yes. In any common usage, "environmentally friendly" simply means reduced impact, which is absolutely possible with LLMs, as is demonstrated by bigger models being distilled into smaller more efficient ones.
Discussing the environmental impact of LLMs has always been silly, given that we regularly blow more CO2 into the atmosphere to produce and render the newest Avengers movie or to spend one week in some marginally more comfortable climate.
