You can use the LLM, but you don't also have the rest of the data they relied on. A LLM can generate everything if it starts from a minimal prompt, but this is a recipe for slop. If you come with materials, discuss them, their implications, express your POV and then generate, the article will reflect your ideas and the data if was fed.
I know it is fashionable to put everything a LLM outputs in the slop box, but I don't think it reflects reality.

Then the LLM can still make shit up and be absolutely wrong.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s wrong as long as the ideas it comes up with are good or interesting, which they often are.
