The issue is about moving the burden of verification to the reader.

Its like you went to a potluck and brought a salad with you, you just closed your eyes and threw some things from the fridge together without thinking, it's all mixed together now and you don't know if something was old/moldy.

You are proud and happy that you brought a contribution, and you feel like your responsibility/duty ends there while the people who want to eat it have to be careful and fish things out, or just avoid it because they can't be sure if it was old or not.

Natural language is a non-verifiable domain due to the ambiguity of the intent, so we will never get away from this issue in LLM-land. You can't know intent of the writer unless they wrote it themselves.
