Is there some way to file a reverse class action against everyone calling these tools "Artificial Intelligence" ? The information spit out by LLMs is like two quality grades up from asking 4chan, yet that doesn't stop the pushers from framing them as some omniscient gods.

I think the main thing the trend shows is just how bad people are at checking information coming at them. I'd estimate that around 75% of the questions I ask ChatGPT, it spits out blatantly wrong answers for. And even clarification/refining/outright correcting is still unable to fix like a third of those. It's really good at generating narratives that sound polished though.
