AI (LLM based Gen' AI) is bad at distinguishing different sources of information.. Seems to be down to being taken-in by styles of communication (not surprising seeing as they are language models). This is a foundational weakness. And not the first. www.technologyreview.com/2026/07/30/1...

ExxonMobil and Suncor Energy “have come to the wrong forum at the wrong time with the wrong arguments,” Boulder told the justices, who will consider the case this fall.
