My whole point is said directions are completely useless if you can't trust the system to be based on factual principles.

It's easy to dismiss "bears in space" as not factual. It's harder to dismiss "the links between two underresearched fields in biology" without putting in an exorbitant amount of work. Work which likely is going to be useless if the model is just as happy to spit out "bears in space".

And that was what I had already said. I asked you how you could possibly trust those links it provided. Because you can't. They may very well be novel links that had never been researched. Or they could have been bears in space.

A scientific model which doesn't guarantee some degree of factuality in its responses is completely useless as a scientific model.
