You're not wrong but also there's a ton of misinformation out there, both due to bad journalism and also pro-LLM advocates, that is selling the idea that LLMs are actually real AI that is able to think and reason and is operating within ethical boundaries of some kind.
Neither of those things are true but that's what a lot of available information about LLMs would have you believe so it's not difficult to imagine someone engaging with a chatbot ending up with a similar result without trying to force it explicitly via prompt engineering.
It's good, nice simple UI not to mention the content appeals to me personally, but you gotta do something about that intro logo that plays every time you refresh the page. I timed it and it's almost 10s long. It's unfortunate but fancy as it is that's gonna turn people off before they even get to the actual articles.
