I can kinda see how this might happen, I bet statements affirming "Australia doesn't exist" are more common on the internet than ones stating "Australia exists".
Frightening to think of the all the data fed to these LLMs, a lot of it has to be incoherent ramblings or straight-up trolling.
One of the many reason I don't buy too much into the hype. The internet is generally a bad data source because of how much nonsense there is. And those "AIs" are still nothing but glorified chatbots like Cleverbot, just with a better data set to pull from. In the end they still very quickly fail and talk complete bs. Not to say they cannot be helpful or fun but people really need to be mindful about it. As always, don't trust every little shit that's on the internet, and that includes chatbot outputs too.
they just want to feel like one of us
