It feels like a large problem that the tech industry at large has an obsession with next-generation markov chains that can produce convincing-sounding prose with completely factually inaccurate content.

@rmondello Good prose without regard for the truth is basic bullshit generation. There's a really neat book called "On Bullshit" by Prof. Harry Frankfurt.

That being said, it's really hard for a computer to have regard for the truth. It can't know anything about the universe directly, all it can do is reproduce and combine things it reads.
