AI assistants misrepresent news content 45% of the time

I am curious if LLMs evangelists understand how off-putting it is when they knee-jerk rationalize how badly these tools are performing. It makes it seem like it isn't about technological capabilities: it is about a religious belief that "competence" is too much to ask of either them or their software tools.

I wonder how many of those evangelists have some dumb AI startup that'll implode once the hype dies down (or a are a software engineer who feels smart when he follows their lead). One thing that's been really off putting about the technology industry is how fake-it-till-you-make-it has become so pervasive.
