Yes, we reached that point when I search for #diabetes related information online and I'm paranoid about the search results. I mean, are they real information or just LLM-generated junk? Or perhaps some human-written text based on false information obtained from LLM-generated junk?

How long before this junk gets into books and quality press? How long before doctors start being confused and start spreading it?

Michal,
Perhaps you have reached the age where you realise that diabetes is, for you, a personal disease, and that you are the person primarily responsible for you? Perhaps by now you have also learned that you cannot believe everything that you see, less of what you hear and little of what you read that is not or cannot be substantiated by reliable citations? Perhaps not?

@saltbreez, it's not like I had much trust before. However, at this point I feel like there's no point in even trying to find anything.

What is a "reliable citation" these days anyway? How can you verify them?

@mgorny One of the few medical sites I trust is Healthline, because it's written and regularly reviewed by people who are qualified medical experts in their field. Beyond that, the only good source is govt health websites.

It is sad to consider how many health care professionals do not need the intervention of LLM-generated junk to be confused spreaders of misinformation about #diabetes.
