> Introductory summary: The current scientific consensus is that the placebo effect is a real healing effect operating through belief and suggestion.

I have no idea what the rest of the article says because this single sentence is so bat shit insane on so many levels.

The placebo effect is not “real healing”, it’s “our study is unable to show a statistically relevant result from our treatment”.

I’m not big on LLMs personally, so I won’t make any specific claims on what they can do. But from what I’ve read, I’d doubt they’d correct that mistake.

On the flip side, I would trust an LLM to tell me whether it should have been “batshit”, “bat-shit”, or “bat shit”.
