My guess, wholly lacking any scientifc rigor, is that humans naturally trust each other. We don't assume the info someone shares with us as wrong, unless there's "a reason" to doubt. Chatting with any of these LLM bots feels like talking to a person (most of the time), so there's usually "no reason" to doubt what it spews.
If human trust wasn't so easy to get and abuse, many scams would be much harder to pull.
I think you might be onto something. Thanks for sharing!
