Two papers reveal that content generated by generative AI may be regarded as 'nonsense', highlighting the challenges posed to public servants due to its disregard for accuracy. The erroneous information produced by generative AI differs from intentional lies, and the papers argue that using the term 'nonsense' is more precise, aiding the public's understanding of technology. Currently, AI laws and regulations are incomplete and cannot effectively prevent the harm caused by such misinformation. The authors suggest the introduction of regulations similar to those in the publishing field, emphasizing the avoidance of 'casual statements' that could cause social harm, ensuring that truth is not compromised.
