LLMs have been trained on absolute garbage

It depends on the LLM actually.

Specialized medical LLMs are actually very accurate.

I'm sure the quality of the LLM output does vary a lot based on the size of the scope it covers and the training data set.

However, I believe that if it were possible to get an LLM to be "quite accurate" in any context, that would make it easy to find a path to profitability for that tool, but I don't think we have seen that materialize anywhere.

I believe that the best they can get is "more accurate" than the mean, but still not accurate enough to reliably make anyone money*.
