> LLMs can say “I don’t know”. Even ChatGPT can do it.

That's the problem in my opinion. When you know something is capable of saying "I don't know" but confidently spit out some hallucinated BS is when the average person will eat it up.

It is definitely a problem. OpenAI does a lot to warn people, but I’m not really sure it’s enough.

I don't know exactly why, but for some reason this made me think of qAnon, and now I'm thinking of an AI trained on qAnon theories that people can form a community around like they did qAnon, and frankly that's one of the most terrifying things I've thought in quite a while.
