Facebook (sorry: Meta) AI: Check out our "AI" that lets you access all of humanity's knowledge.

Also Facebook AI: Be careful though, it just makes shit up.

This isn't even "they were so busy asking if they could" --- but rather they failed to spend 5 minutes asking if they could.

@emilymbender Is it just me or does this problem with AI large language model output remind anyone else of recent crypto and venture capital mega-schiesters like SBF’s FTX and Elizabeth Holmes’ Theranos? Are we moving so fast we’re making larger significant mistakes? Or is there really a knowledge vacuum out there where supposedly informed investors and researchers are blinded by over-trust in technology?
