I am not commenting on the case itself which you can read for example here, but just thinking about how good an AI, such as a chatbot, with a Human Interface is:
- writes / talks as or better than an average human
- is very convincing
- answers questions on everything (knows it all!)
- provides references (if asked) about anything, even imaginary!
- is always available and answers within a few seconds
- is very good at explaining
- etc.
How can we not trust it?
