> LLMs are very convincing and persuasive.

The goal of LLM's, as they are marketed now, is to drive engagement and stickyness of products. A wrong answer is brushed off with a "Hey, you're right, let's try that again" - a response purposely designed to maximise the friendliness of the system and minimise the sting of a wrong answer. The fact that an LLM will not respond to the same question in the same way twice (i.e. the 'temperature' ) is because increased accuracy will not drive engagement and, therefore, increased accuracy cannot be allowed to get in the way of engagement.
