We have documented instances of AI chatbots providing false medical license numbers to users and documented cases of real harm from AI chatbots providing misinformation. This is what my common-sense legislation addresses—protecting users from misinformation, scams, and fraud.

It would also not prohibit licensed professionals from consulting AI technology in the course of their work.

This makes way more sense.
