Even with a human speaker, that's not a totally safe assumption, and a certain type of fraudster relies heavily on people making this type of assumption (the likes of L Ron Hubbard in particular liked to use the language of expertise for various fields in a nonsensical way, and this is extremely convincing to a certain sort of person). But LLMs might almost have been designed to exploit this particular cognitive bias; there's really significant danger here.

Agreed. The optimistic scenario is that being exposed to so many "hallucinating" LLM's, people will become better at spotting the same thing in humans. But, I admit freely that is just the optimistic scenario.
