This is why I just can't fully get behind the idea that AI is going to be the panacea the hype merchants keep claiming, at least in this era: making stuff up incentivizes users to prompt again, while returning "I don't know" tends to be a conversation ender. They're not incentivized to be accurate, they're incentivized to give the appearance of competence to the point that it keeps users coming back. Tufte said it best: There are only two industries that call their customers 'users': illegal drugs and software.
