Many companies put LLM chatbots on their websites and let them hallucinate at will. General recklessness is very much in spirit of this tech.
Whether its a politician, a general, religious leader, judge, ceo, stand up comic etc there are hardly any consequences if enough people believe whatever crap they are spouting. Human intelligence is highly over rated. History books are fully of evidence that human rationality is bounded. And the only way we overcome those limitations, blindspots, biases etc is by watching others faceplant in bloody painful ways that it leaves a permanent mark on that little chimp brain we have been given to process the universe.
They also don't get a presumption of objectivity.
