This is only an issue if you think LLMs are infallible.
If someone said "I asked my assistant to find the best hot-dog eaters in the world and she got her information from a fake article one of my friends wrote about himself, hah, THE IDIOT", we'd all go "wait, how is this your assistant's fault?". Yet, when an LLM summarizes a web search and reports on a fake article it found, it's news?
People need to learn that LLMs are people too, and you shouldn't trust them more than you'd trust any random person.
