Sponsorblock is great for combating that. (Altough, I conciously avoid channels that mostly do clickbait anyways)

This makes no sense. Only things that are guaranteed to be correct or accurate can make mistakes? Everyone knows what "mistake" means in this context. Nobody cares what your preferred definition of mistake is.
Hard to put in words.
But that's roughly what is concerning about the "AI makes mistakes" narratives.
It implies they are caused by a (fixable) fault in reasoning or memory.
LLM "AI" will always respond that it made a "mistake" when you correct it.
It is trained to do so, and humans often behave similarly.
It is hard to come up with a good definition for "mistake", yes.
That does not change that using this in case of LLM hallucinations is misleading.
By that logic, nothing is capable of making mistakes :D.

You have a distorted view of what clickbait is and the rules of this site. I suggest you go calm down and try to stop hating on a technology which is just that: a technology! Like any other, it can be misused, but think about why exactly you feel so passionate about this particular technology.
"We made a programming error in our use of an LLM, didn't do any QA, and it cost us $10k" doesn't generate the C-suite "oh shit what if ChatGPT fucks up, what's our exposure!?" reaction. There's a million middle and upper management posting this article on LinkedIn, guaranteed.

While we're on the subject: LLMs can't make "mistakes." They are not deterministic.
They cannot reason, think, or do logic.
They are very fancy word salad generators that use a lot of statistical probabilities. By definition they're not capable of "mistakes" because nothing they generate is remotely guaranteed to be correct or accurate.
Edit: The mods boosted the post; it got downvoted into oblivion, for obvious reasons, and then skyrocketed instantly in rank, which means they boosted it: https://hnrankings.info/40627558/

I'm sure it's a complete coincidence that the story was apparently authored by someone at a Ycombinator company: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40629998
