If you want to know how the word "impactful" spread through written English over time, LLMs can help. It can help with that because it's a specifically linguistic question, but it's a pretty big leap from there to other types of knowledge. And LLM-based AI is being pitched to businesses and the general public not as a tool for conducting linguistic research, but as a universal knowledge machine. And that's where a great many of the technology's problems begin.
