LLMs do not do this, because by design they cannot. If asked for a citation they would respond with something that sounds real, but no amount of tuning could ensure that their response was actually where the information came from. I don't know if other (non-LLM) digital assistants do this.

We are not a species that needs shitty LLMs or tax breaks for billionaires, but we are species that needs to create.
We need to create art; we need to metabolize art.

I have a small flat dragon bloodstone I bought from a crystal store that i keep in my pocket. I don't believe rocks have innate magical powers, but the purpose was to have it remind me of its ascribed meaning when I touch it (strength of will, specifically).
