It's about a real thing that happened as a part of the journalists workday. He found it relevant to inform upon and did so as that is his job.I agree with you here, I really do, and people acting upon wrong information is the very problem being reported on. The journalist brought to light that LLMs can give false information so that those watching would know as well to be cautious. Calling it click-bait is adding intention to the report that there is no evidence for.Another thing relevant to this is that many educations nowadays can be found on-line and uses on-line information as part of their curriculum which proves that the correct information is out there to find as well. Just like libraries hold books that are used in educations as well.And this gets to the root of the reported problem. The AI companies sell their programs to be this great thing, knowing that there are problems that might/will cause problems for the end user. Adding a little note that the answers might not be accurate doesn't fix that problem as long as they keep touting AI as the great problem solver. I would also go as far as to claim that the reporter in the clip used the AI in a way that it was supposed to be used and still it produced a false result showing that it was in fact the tool that was at fault.As far as the term 'slop' being an issue, I'll leave that to [USER=1]@Morrus[/USER] to respond to, but I think he's already shown several examples of AI producing what could be considered 'slop' and explaining why this kind of "hallucination" leads to further 'slop' being created. In the video it had written an entire podcast that never took place for instance. The journalist managed to make content of it by reporting the problem, otherwise it would just have been slop.</blockquote>
