Because soon the information you get with GenAI will contain ads in a way that you cannot distinguish it from real information.

Imagine AI telling you its safe and proper to water bath can meat for food preservation, and what that actually means when you eat the canned meat following those directions. Same goes for mushrooms, or anything else that might literally kill you.

We've reached a point where AI is not accountable for harms, while being capable of killing people through selective curation of information it provides.

Well, on the web, you get 4-5 sources, all of which are ads, three of which are owned by the same company and the other two are generated SEO spam.
