If most of what an LLM spits out is a digested version of its training set, is it really an outside view of the world? If anything, seeing how easy it is to get these things to spit out conspiracy theories or bigotry suggests to me that we're far from being able to get a robot's view of the world.

Though for some people if the "robot" says bigoted things or supports their conspiracy theory of choice that's just "proof" that their viewpoint is correct. Tricky to navigate that problem.
