So the same problem ML has in every endeavor where we have a good metric of "correctness" that's distinct from plausibility, like OCR or natural language translation: very good at spitting out stuff that superficially resembles training data, and whether that happens to be right is totally accidental. Surprisingly good odds if you're working on something boring within the "bounds" of the model, sure, but also pretty likely to think that "now on sale" is a zillion times more likely to be announced on an advert than "a decision has been made to release this product (at an unspecified future date)."
