Edit: Please stop playing devils advocate and pay attention to the words “in the way that LLMs do”. I really thought it would not be necessary to clarify that I know humans lie! LLMs lie in a different way. (When was the last time a person gave you a made up URL as a source?) Also I am replying to a conversation about a PhD talking about their preferred subject matter, not a regular person. An expert human in their preferred field is much more reliable than the LLMs we have today.
