“The same conflicts of interest that have been addressed over decades in tobacco exist in other areas of public health involving corporate interests, including food and obesity, alcohol, gambling, climate and the environment, and pharmaceuticals.”

Sigh. LLMs don't lie, because they don't know anything. What all LLMs do, including the latest models, is produce statistically plausible outputs that sometimes resemble the truth and sometimes resemble falsehoods. That's all the tech *can* do www.ft.com/content/2b3c...
