How is it any different from "I read book <X> and it said that..."? Or "Book <X> has the following quote about that:"?

I definitely want to know where people are getting their info. It helps me understand how trustworthy it might be. It's not rude, it's providing proper context.

I assume a book is correct or I at least assume to author thought it was correct when it comes to none ideological topics.

But you can’t assume positive intent or any intent from an LLM.

I always test the code, review it for corner cases, remove unnecessary comments, etc just like I would a junior dev.

For facts, I ask it to verify whatever says based on web source. I then might use it to summarize it. But even then I have my own writing style I steer it toward and then edit it.
