I can evaluate this because it's easy for me to count. But how can I evaluate something else, how can I know whether the LLM ist good at it or not?

Assume it is not. If you’re asking an LLM for information you don’t understand, you’re going to have a bad time. It’s not a learning tool, and using it as such is a terrible idea.

If you want to use it for search, don’t just take it at face value. Click into its sources, and verify the information.
