I'm saying that your agreement that they produce plausible but sometimes false text is contradicted by the trust you seem to have in their output and self-analysis, which is plausible but unlikely to be correct.

Yes of course there's a risk it may still be incorrect but querying the LLM with the limited facilities it provides for introspection is more likely to have at least some connection with facts than the alternative that some people use, which is to simply guess as to why it produced the output it did.

If you have an alternative approach, please share.
