I don’t think that this is necessarily an issue of people being stupid though. People are being encouraged to use AI as a replacement for search engines, and to plug any question they have into it and trust the answers that they are given. Blindly following that may be stupid in many cases, but there are also plenty of cases where a person is developmentally disabled, or young and ignorant, or in a mental state that makes them bad at processing information correctly. We should be putting safeguards in place to protect vulnerable people from obvious dangers, even if it saves some idiots by accident.
