BBC study "Audience Use and Perceptions of AI Assistants for News" puts it blunt:

"First – despite the errors we know can exist in AI summaries, many users perceive AI assistants as trustworthy. Our study found that just over a third of UK adults (42%) say they trust AI to produce accurate summaries of information. And this figure rises to half of under 35s."

I doubt it is much different in the rest of the world. The misinformation and errors generated by the AI tooling are one part of the problem, but the far more critical problem is that people accept the wrong information without question.
