There are so many services for formatting sources…why use an LLM for this?

Because many people still don’t understand that AI isn’t a reliable source of info. I have seen people use it to fact-check things in arguments before, as if it would actually give them a factual answer.

This is far worse than being not a reliable source of info. Ms Chen had all the info she needed, and Claude falsified it.
