obviously not.
this isn't some innovation of theirs. it's a slapped together duct taped copy of other people's work, trained on other people's work.
Not even that, it's an inherent issue of how LLMs work. The problem is also that systems have become so easy to use that people stop thinking for themselves. We already see that by zoomers and boomers having an eerily similar understanding of tech, vs millennials who contain a huge amount of pre mainstream tech nerds that grew up with this stuff - before it was easy to use. A regular search result still requires a user to kinda shift through them, but a LLM response is usually taken for granted and not even fact checked. It's typically not even possible to dissect the reply into its source tokens to figure out where the content of its information came from. So now that those things became easy enough for any idiot to just use them, it has been trivially easy to also just spread misinformation and potentially even disinformation if we apply actual malice.
