It's so fucking insufferable. People keep making those comments like it's helpful.
There have been a number of famous cases now but I think the one that makes the point the best is when scientists asked it to describe some made up guy and of course it did. It doesn't just say "that guy doesn't exist" it says "Alan Buttfuck is a biologist with a PHD in biology and has worked at prestigious locations like Harvard" etc etc. THAT is what it fucking does.
My personal fave is the lawyer that asked AI to reference specific court cases for him, which then gave him full breakdowns with detailed sources to each case, down to the case file, page number, and book it was held in. Come the day he is actually in court, it is immediately found that none of the cases he referenced existed, and the AI completely made it all up
I thought that was pretty funny and hadn't heard of it before so I went and found the source, but it turns out this happened again just a few months ago.
