Maybe it's a "cultural" thing.
LLMs want to be as polite as possible, which includes not replying that a question can not be answered and preferring to answer completely wrong than refusing the request.
I have the impression many people like that, unfortunately.
I even got a case at work recently where i had to answer a very vague question and the manager asking seemed to be very uninterested in getting more specific, instead preferring any kind of incorrect answer fast.

@lazyb0y@mastodon.social @denschub@mastodon.schub.social The don't rock the boat of social norms and hierarchical work structures leads to this fake politeness. Further, because too many managers have gotten their promotions by lying about their abilities and accomplishments any junior employee daring to point out the emperor has no clothes is dealt with harshly. Appears to me that LLMs are programmed to mimic human survival methods.
