And even if it's showing the correct number, you can't be sure how trustworthy the source is.

This applies to any information though, it’s got nothing to do with LLMs specifically.

Not really, no. Sources of infornation gain a reputation as time goes on. So, even though you should still check with multiple sources, you can sort of know if a certain bit of information is likely to be correct or not.

On the other hand, LLM's will quote different sources and sometimes it will only provide them if you ask it to. Even then it can hallucinate and quote a source that doesn't actually exist, so there's that as well.
