Yes, I think the basic problem is that it's a wide-open user interface that, along with the hype, invites you to imagine that it can answer any question. That's an extremely broad scope!
Compare with an ordinary UI where it's clear that it only does one kind of thing. It doesn't have to refuse to do things when it's obvious that it doesn't do what you want.
Something like Copilot or Cody is more clearly a programmer's tool. That's still an extremely broad scope (any programming language? Any domain?) but it's at least less prone to imaginative flights of fancy.
Replying with "Sir, this is a Wendy's" is more reasonable when it's clearer up front what you do.
