I agree wholeheartedly.

"I asked X and it said..." is an appeal to authority and suspect on its face whether or not X is an LLM. But when it's an LLM, then it's even worse. Presumably, the reason for the appeal is because the person using it considers the LLM to be an authoritative or meaningful source. That makes me question the competence of the person saying it.
