Are the down votes because people genuinely think this is an incorrect answer, or because they dislike anything remotely pro-AI?

Both probably. Thought terminating cliches and all that. The most useful tool maybe ever. Wild.

I use LLMs daily as a professional software engineer. I didn't downvote you and I'm not disengaging my thinking here. RAGs don't solve everything, and it's better not to sacrifice scientific credibility to the altar of convenience.

It's always been easier to lie quickly than to dig for the truth. AIs are not consistent, regardless of the additional appendages you give them. They have no internal consistency by their very nature.
