Er, yeah, good luck with that. You're not going to get than from an LLM.
Some of them do citation okay-ish (which isn't sufficient, but suggests some ability).
But I more or less agree with your skepticism. If you looked over my comments on HN, you'd probably think I was a die-hard AI skeptic, but I'm really not, I just think the vast majority of people's understanding of and expectations of AI are disconnected from reality. I think people are viewing AI (and products, tools, innovations built with/around AI) as they hope it will be in 5 years, and not as it is right now.
