>When you really start to prod this and think "Ok, this tool by design is going to produce highly plausible but completely untrue information" do we really think the sensible next step is "Better integrate this very tightly into our primarily tool for finding out accurate information"? Because that appears to be the current plan.

It's not completely wrong all the time. Also the conditioning puts it into state where it has to respond with answers even if it doesn't know something. So coupling it with the tools for finding out accurate information is a logical next step. If it works out and you get highly plausible and true information most of the time, that's magical. Just because it's integrated doesn't mean you have to use it but many will. It'll keep getting better because that's how AI model have been doing at every benchmark, so even if you think it's not there yet, trends imply it might get there soon.
