LLMs will tell you 1 or 2 lies for each 20 facts. Its a hard way to learn. They cant even get their urls right...

That was my experience when growing up with school also, except you got punished one way or another for speaking up/trying to correct the teacher. If I speak up with the LLM they either explain why what they said is true, or corrects themselves, 0 emotions involved.

Famously never happens with humans.
You are ignoring the fact that the types of mistakes or lies are of a different nature.
If you are in class, and you incorrectly argue, there is a mistake in an explanation of Derivatives or Physics, but you are the one in error, your Teacher hopefully, will not say: "Oh, I am sorry you are absolutely correct. Thank you for your advice.."
Yeah, no of course if I'm wrong I don't expect the teacher to agree with me, what kind of argument is that? I thought it was clear, but the base premise of my previous comment is that the teacher is incorrect and refuse corrections...

And you are saying human teachers or online materials won't lie to you once or twice for every 20 facts? no matter how small. Did you do any comparison?
it's not jsut the lies, but how it lies and the fact that LLMs are very hesitant to call out humans on their BS
Is this the newest meme?
Me: “explain why radioactive half-life changes with temperature”
ChatGPT 4o: “ Short answer: It doesn’t—at least not significantly. Radioactive Half-Life is (Almost Always) Temperature-Independent”
…and then it goes on to give a few edge cases where there’s a tiny effect.
You are missing the point. See my comment to @diggan in this thread. LLMs lie in a different way.
