You have too many smart people in your circle, many people are somewhat aware that "chatgpt can be wrong" but fail to internalize this.

Consider machine translation: we have a lot of evidence of people trusting machines for the job (think: "translate server error" signs) , even tho everybody "knows" the translation is unreliable.

But tbh moral and truth seem somewhat orthogonal issues here.
