I feel like the most pragmatic perspective is "trust but verify."

This is why they're so effective at coding: you can run the code yourself (or the test suite) to verify that it actually does what it's supposed to.

And maybe these people finding hallucinated results on Rachel's site are doing verification too.

This perspective I really don't get.

What has any of the LLM companies done to earn my trust? I lean more towards "verify because I don't trust".
