Suppose that instead of a 100B+ parameter neural network language model, I had a website with a simple bigram language model that, after drawing enough samples, produced a similar output. Would anyone bat an eye? Would anyone bother to write a USA Today op-ed about the incident?

I think a reasonable person would immediately understand that the outputs of the bigram model were not statements of fact. Is there some threshold of language modelling performance where this understanding is no longer expected?
