Point at the public dataset then if it's so public. You really have no idea how the LLM is parsing the data and could easily be hallucinating. That you find being called out on this as some sort of insult is quite telling and frankly funny, what a strong reaction to someone asking for a basic source when the burden of proof is on you to prove (or at least show a source that) these stats are right, not on anyone else to disprove AI bullshit.
Sorry, it's not my job to provide for you the things that you demand from me at your whims, because the original comment I replied to with LLM data also did not bring peer-reviewable information as proof that COSMIC is a TOP 5 DE, and yet you did not demand proof from them in that case. Why is that?
Did you just blindly trust the opinions of others on this topic, and yet I'm the one who has to provide peer-reviewable data for you to back-up mine? Sorry, I'm not your unpaid lackey. Try to formulate a better (counter)argument for why their baseless opinion is right, but my LLM backed up opinion is wrong, if you wish for a even-footed good-faith argument.
I ask them for the same source (and looks like they provided it), your comment wasn't special. LLMs however are especially less trustworthy, that's why. It's not my job to educate you on why they are, as you say, and why people aren't trusting your comments.

I also saw it now. That blog is not a representative ground truth, but just another opinion piece, which I can respect as an opinion of the blog's user base, but I can't take as an accurate real world statistic, same how aggregate opinions you read on HN are not representative of the actual real world.
I hope you can understand my PoV. You can also disagree if you want, but you'll need to bring something more than "that's wrong because LLMs sometimes hallucinate" as proof that Gemini's data is wrong in this case.
