I'm not OP but I tried to ask it today to explain to me how proxies work, and it felt like it couldn't give me an answer that it couldn't attribute to a link. While that sounds good on paper, the problem is that no matter what you ask, you end up with very similar answers because it has less freedom to generate text. While on the other hand, even if attributes everything to a link, there is no guarantee that link actually says what the LLM is telling you it says, so it's just the worse of both worlds.

ChatGPT on the other hand was able to reformulate the explanation until I understood the part I was struggling with, namely what prevents a proxy from simply passing its own public key as the website's public key. It did so without citing anything.
