Someone should tell the NYT's technology columnist who was "feeling the AGI" not too long ago.

It's simple. Shit in, Shit out.

Simply not enough good data, and it's unlikey there ever will be. Between the garbage written by real people and crap written by AI's while cannibalising it's own crap, it's bound to go badly. The ancient Greeks, no doubt, have stories about these kinds of follies.

"It is not entirely clear why." lol, some of it is intentional. the rest of it is the chaos of the medium as it evolves. its still only a baby. being raised by the worst people.

maybe AI is often getting things wrong because they reflect the beliefs of a lot of people who are wrong a lot. Maybe AI shouldn't be trained on EVERYTHING on the internet.

Yep. We should take EVERYTHING produced by A.I. with a grain of salt. I've tested both Gemini and ChatGPT with research questions and everything is from the internet. And we know - the internet is always accurate. * sarcasm * Seriously, always check sources.
