I think there's a certain level of denial involved in this as well. There is a category of person who really wants AI to become a Big Life-Changing Thing. Maybe they are older and remember the early iPhone or the heady days of home computing in the 90s. Or maybe they are young and just eager to be part of the next big thing. Or they're lazy/busy and eager to avoid the hard work of editing/proofreading/revising. Or they think they are smarter than everyone else, and that the caveats only apply to regular people, but not them. In any case, there ends up being a kind of emotional attachment to the AI usage, which gets in the way of them considering evidence that it can be unreliable. (This phenomenon is not unique to AI, it shows up in all areas of life.)
