Of course AI chatbots are spreading misinformation; that is their entire function.
"Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity, error, or ignorance."
In this case there is a simpler explanation: 1) There is misinformation on the Internet, 2) AI models are trained with huge masses of text indiscriminately scraped off the Internet 3) AI models are therefore trained on misinformation and will sometimes pass this on to their users.
