ChatGPT says "spinach is rich in iron" by the way. Even more interestingly, it knows that "rich in iron" is bullshit, and explains when challenged (both the oxalates and the typo in research). This actually mirrors a problem IRL - e.g. fairly recently some foundational research on Alzheimer's was discovered to be fake. Yet there are thousands of papers out there still being relied on and cited, that are partially or completely invalidated by this fraud. Worse, there are also ineffective drugs that are still prescribed. How to deal with this is not clear, given the limited research bandwidth, and poor reproducibility of medical research.
