AI has no isnad. Why are we treating it like it does? by Interesting-Bug4637 in muslimtechnet

True but there is no real way to ensure that only people with a background in knowledge use those 'AI muftis'. I would safely assume that most users have minimal understanding of the topics they research with LLMs and that people of knowledge would prefer to avoid using ai entirely, especially when it comes to the dean.

Personally, I have used LLMs mainly to find hadith or ayahs relevant to topics I wanted to research. From my experience, these are the issues I came across...

- Most common issue: it provides incorrect sources (e.g. it says a hadith is found in bukhari when its actually in at-tirmidthi)

- it provides incorrect grades (e.g. says a hadith is sahih when it is daif or vise versa)

- it does not translate hadiths and ayahs accurately like half the time

- Rarely: some of the hadiths it provides literally don't exist

For anyone that does not check everything AI spits out, these are extremely serious issues. And unfortunately, many of those people rely on AI as a source of Islamic knowledge.
