AI, or rather LLMs, can barf out a lot of passable text quickly. That can be useful as a starting point for something useful, if a human mind is willing and able to review and repair it. It’s like having an idiot intern.
But the number of people who use LLMs in a way that reflects and understanding of their limitations is diminishingly small. Most people just don’t assume that something that looks valid needs to be fully and critically reviewed. That’s why we’ve had multiple cases of lawyers having ChatGPT write theis legal briefs based on hallucinated legal precedent.
Kinda sorta.

That’s not a problem of the technology though, that’s human idiocy.
