My big multilane roundabout chat

While learning and actual stuff are pretty different, I would do blue line if there is no traffic as well.

When it comes to lane changes, my general rule is drive in such a way that assumes there's someone next to me that I simply hadn't noticed yet.  Therefore, I would not do the blue line if there were no traffic, because my assumption would be that I just hadn't seen the traffic.

(Emphasis mine) -- I don't agree with that, most AI tools clearly profess not to be sources, but merely a guide to an actual source. Ask any of the AI websites and they will variously describe themselves as companions or guides to actual sources.

People falsely believing them to be a trusted source is another [major] issue entirely.

We are not necessarily disagreeing. I just think that there is a slippery slope of trusting AI when you shouldn't that can definitely be exacerbated by user error, but is also somewhat inherent to the way it presents content as reliable and factual even when it's not.

Not to harp on this, but more of a case in point: I just had AI tell me that something was "never" discouraged even though it clearly could be in some contexts. When I pushed back, it came back with "'Never' was just shorthand for 'rarely'" (LOL, nice try!  ) before going on to spit out the whole list of exceptions. Definitely problematic had I not already known there were exceptions and what they were.
