Good words of warning here. AI models are generally designed to read and incorporate (and, in a sense, believe) virtually everything they find online, with very few guardrails. The information can get divorced from its original source, context, & rebuttals or retractions. That's a really big problem

A modified version of a famous scene in the Simpsons. There are four panels showing Homer talking to Bart and Lisa. In the first, Homer says 'Kids, there are three ways to do things'. In the second, he says 'The right way, the wrong way, and the A.I. way. In the third panel Bart asks, 'Isn't that the wrong way?', and finally Homer replies 'Yes, but faster'.
