No, it's actually good, because it's one of the rare huge advances that the public is being let in on at the outset, and we'll have a lot more ability to judge LLM potential than if it had been sprung on us out of the blue (with inevitable marketing implying that it was actual strong AI, and restrictions on interaction with it carefully designed to maintain that falsehood.)

Constantly getting bad and wrong information from a confident AI will do a lot to teach people that they need other sources. The fact that many of these other sources will also be covert lying AI will be a great lesson in media literacy for everyone.

Why do you think people will respond rationally when they have an irrational problem?
