How to fight LLM-based thinking? (lemmygrad.ml)

I've had multiple discussions with people, typical western liberals, where they heavily relied on Chat GPT for their arguments and information.

I was explaining my perspective on Iran to someone who said they support a regime change operation there by the US. I told them about how the protests started peacefully, until a sudden coordinated mob created destruction and violence, and how the riots ended after the starlink tech was shut down by the Iranian government.

They told me my argument doesn't hold water because they GPT'd it and it said everything I said was wrong. Is it just a lost cause to try and explain further at that point, or is there a way to break people away from LLM-ism?

You can lead the horse to water but you can't make him drink. You can only plant the seeds that will later grow. If they didn't link to LLM output they would link to any other western newspaper that disproves it. They'd link to wikipedia. If they don't want to see it, they don't. Remember that their privilege depends on them profiting from this system, and if they admit it's all true they'd have to admit and examine several things:

they've been lied to their entire life, at the societal level
they're actually on the team of the bad guys
the world is much bleaker than they thought, instead of getting better
they can't trust anything they read in the media anymore
they profit from this system and its continuation
