It is a real problem that AI's will basically confirm that most inquiries are true. Just by asking a leading question often results in the AI confirming it is true or stretching reality to accommodate the answer being true.

If I ask if a drug has a specific side effect and the answer is no it should say no. Not try to find a way to say yes that isn't really backed by evidence.

People don't realize that when they ask a leading question that is really specific in a way where no one has a real answer then the AI will try to find a way to agree, and this is going to destroy people's lives. Honestly it already has.
