This, but for Wikipedia.

Edit: Ironically, the down votes are really driving home the point in the OP. When you aren't an expert in a subject, you're incapable of recognizing the flaws in someone's discussion, whether it's an LLM or Wikipedia. Just like the GPT bros defending the LLM's inaccuracies because they lack the knowledge to recognize them, we've got Wiki bros defending Wikipedia's inaccuracies because they lack the knowledge to recognize them. At the end of the day, neither one is a reliable source for information.

why don't you then go and fix these quoting high quality sources? are there none?

There are plenty of high quality sources, but I don't work for free. If you want me to produce an encyclopedia using my professional expertise, I'm happy to do it, but it's a massive undertaking that I expect to be compensated for.
