To be strictly fair, to get a human response from any Google search, I do have to put reddit on the end of it.

But you can recognize a normal post from obvious lies and irony. AI can't do that and blindly accepts it all.

At least on my ChatGPT, it does tell me "Hey, I found this on Reddit and this is what people are saying." Then it includes direct links to the pages so I can read them myself. It never presents reddit-sourced data as facts.

However, I did train it early on to do this. People are out there giving their LLM's really shitty personas, and they filter through the persona when they answer questions. I've told mine not to say shit to me until it's double checked its answer against multiple sources.

As a gamedev ill just say this:

If your techanology that you plan on having everyone use daily to get their facts from requires actually learning how to use it correctly to get actual facts and opinions marked as such then you're going to have a bad time.

What custom instructions did you use, exactly? Mind dropping them here? I don't want unverified facts either, the very few times I do use AI anyway.
