Because I am far less likely to trust encyclopedic content written by an AI, which can lie so convincingly that it does not know that it is lying. I have even seen it generating fictional source references that are hard to verify.
I just don't trust it.
Maybe we just need a better attribution, so people can decide on the level of objective confidence. If you live in the US, it is already difficult to avoid seeing and listening to real people lie publicly, which may take journalists a long time to verify. Put it in another way, we might just see late night talk show hosts start parodying $next_gen_llm instead of real people, if this $next_gen_llm started affecting people in a more profound way.
>can lie so convincingly that it does not know that it is lying.
A human can also lie convincingly.
The problem with AI is that you can do it massively.
It takes more than merely being human to earn my trust.
