“our AI has messed up completely.”

No, it worked as designed. Generative AI simply creates content of the type that you specify, but has no concept of truth or facts.

I find takes like this very strange. Whether or not it gives the correct information, it's clearly not designed to give false information to factual queries.

The design of it is based on the intention of the people creating it, not the actual outcome, and it's pretty clear from all available information, plus a general understanding of incentives, that it's designed to be as accurate as possible, even if it does make errors.

this is incorrect. it has the concept of truth and facts.

How is knowing what word is most likely to come next in a series of words remotely the same as having "the concept of truth and facts"?
