I've seen several "creators" pointing to AI overviews as "evidence" of things without ever fact-checking them (because if you were interested in facts you wouldn't bother with them anyway). I have family and friends send me AI-generated bullshit day in and day out.

It's especially infuriating when they send me "but ChatGPT says..." about something I'm literally an expert in. Like I do this all day every day and you're taking the word of a chatbot over me.

I hate when people do that. The robot is wrong! All the freaking time.

Oh man, when people at work do it... 'i asked claude and it said...'. never once has this been right, or even a fruitful avenue of enquiry.

Same, yeah. On top of that, my company even turned on Cursor BugBot to review our PRs and it calls out nonsense non-problems all the time due to lacking context
