To put it differently, if you trust things that some random dude says without checking/validating them, my answer to that would be “They eat the dogs; they eat the cats.” I've got news for you: humans lie. It's a human survival strategy that works. People lie on their timesheets. The GOP even acknowledges that they lie because it works in the polls. But some random machine that you know to have issues with that—you expect it to be telling the truth by default? What is even the truth?

So yeah, LLM are magnificient (compared to what we had before) NLP algorithms. But using them wrongly, and you end up with troubles. And the companies running the circus don't make it easier either, e.g. OpenAI's ChatGPT instant mode (which is basically the only thing accessible on the free tier) is literally tuned to provide fast, convenient, cheap-to-generate answers, that nobody cares if they are wrong. See what might be wrong with this?
