Again, this is just a specific example of the general genAI problem: It makes shit up & most of it will seem OK because you don't know enough about the subject matter to see the harm it does.
Until now we've been able to assume that even lies & misinformation took at least some effort & someone would need a reason for it - but now they just happen, with zero effort or reason.
We also thought the utility of asbestos & leaded gasoline outweighed the harms. We were wrong then, too.
