"Japan has a higher GDP per capita than Alabama" is fake news. It's also confidently repeated by most LLMs. https://twitter.com/MatthewJBar/status/1681554646664634368

My assertion is that things like this will happen whenever LLMs are tuned to match political beliefs.

Nobody fed that false fact into any LLM. Garbage in, garbage out isn't fake news.
