Yes, LLMs, or what people call AI, are absolutely manipulated easily. Just the way you phrase your question can steer it to answer in a particular way. I haven't been on Twitter in a long time, but I hopped on yesterday and today to check out all of the Kirk memes.
I saw so many comments from people both happy and upset with Kirk dying, that were asking questions in manipulative ways (to the llm) to try and get the response from grok they want.
LLMs are indeed horrible for live or recent events, and more importantly horrible for anything that is super important to not get wrong.
Don't get me wrong I personally find llms useful and I use open source models occasionally for tasks they are better at, for me typically that means reformatting or compiling shorter notes from documents. Nothing super critical.
