I believe you can ask it to limit its 'answer' to some subset of the
data, e.g. something like reports/articles/journals that include a
reference/citation list. Has anyone tried that? Then the 'hearsay' is
somewhat mitigated if it hasn't made up the references, which it has done!

More a philosophical than technical question. Like a good researcher,
you could get the AI to find what is supported by evidence. But that
doesn't necessarily make the answer factually correct, or morally right.
The problem is that the AI is mostly working on hearsay. It is
harvesting text, which is what people said was the case, not it
actually was. It will be interesting when the AI can look at direct
evidence, from sensors, or by observing the behavior of people online,
not what they say they do.
If you ask AI about a controversial topic, the answer will depend on
who put the most convincing propaganda online. How would you know if
the answer was correct: ask the government?
