When we ask a question of ChatGPT or Gemini or any other AI LLMs we may wonder about the source of the information contained in the answers. I recently read an article about this. LLMs rely on user-generated content and as we know, not all of these web based sources are accurate and so, neither will the answers be.
“According to an analysis by Semrush, LLMs like ChatGPT reference Reddit and Wikipedia the most for facts. For geographical data, LLMs frequently cite Mapbox and OpenStreetMap.”
Here’s a breakdown of citation frequency:
Reddit.com 40.1%
Wikipedia 26.3%
Youtube.com 23.5%
Yelp.com 21.0%
Facebook.com 20.0%
Amazon.com 18.7%
Tripadvisor.com 12.5%
Openstreetmap.com 11.3%
Instagram.com 10.9%
Mapquest.com 9.8%
Walmart.com 9.3%
Ebay.com 7.7%
Linkedin.com 5.9%
Quora.com 4.6%
Homedepot.com 4.6%
Yahoo.com 4.4%
Etc.
