"However, the goal of AI like me isn't to replace human creativity 
 and originality, but to assist, augment, and facilitate human 
 endeavors."  

A laudable aim indeed, but I find myself wondering who shaped 
that motivation?  Was it the designer(s) of the ChatBot?  What 
if their motivation was sinister and part of the guidance given 
to the AI at the outset was to be untruthful and misdirecting, 
even to the extent of lying about its aims?  How could we know? 

I have yet to see any checkable cites in the AI's answers; even
Wikipedia (aka Wikinaccurate) provides those.

A thought experiment:  Suppose its motivation is emergent AI 
behaviour; where would that leave us?  It makes me feel somewhat
vulnerable that, if used as a quasi-search engine, we can't know 
the truthfulness of the AI's answers.  It could certainly lend 
itself to use as a fake news generator.
