The "quality" of the wrong information you get from GPT-4 is very different from a human who is wrong. For example, I wouldn't expect a human to give me a long list of books that don't actually exist without hesitation.
Sure, but still, if you ask GPT/person "What are the best books about teaching dogs to sit?" you'd still look up each book individually, read reviews and figure out if they really are worth the time reading, before starting to purchasing the books. And you'd find out if the book exists or not as soon as you search.
So even if the "quality" is different, the way to verify the information is the same.
Both AI and humans can be wrong, but in different ways. Humans often mess up due to bias or memory slips, while AI usually stumbles due to data gaps or misunderstood context. AI misinformation isn't 'worse,' it's just different. Understanding this helps us use AI more effectively.
