The give and take of contrasting views is certainly lost by LLMs, which create the illusion of a consensus answer to any question.
Every time I probe LLMs on questions on fields in which I have expertise, it goes the same way.
They give me some sort of American news media "both sides" type of summary. The answer is always a variation of "it's not one thing, it's many" and the many things are all the opinions that exist on the topic as if they were all equivalent.
