You should always check. I've seen LLM's being wrong (and obstinate) on topics which are one step separated from common knowledge.

I had to post the source code to win the dispute, so to speak.

Now think of all the times you didn't already know enough to go and find the real answer.

Ever read mainstream news reporting on something you actually know about? Notice how it's always wrong? I'm sure there's a name for this phenomenon. It sounds like exactly the same thing.

Why would you try to convince an LLM of anything?

Often you want to proceed further based on a common understanding, so it’s an attempt to establish that common understanding.

[vrotaru]

Well, not exactly convince. I was curious what will happen.

If you are curious it was a question about the behavior of Kafka producer interceptors when an exception is thrown.

But I agree that it is hard to resist the temptation to treat LLM's as a pear.
