Large Language Models produce false statements, and users encounter AI errors every day. These errors must be taken into account when using AI. It is thereby important to distinguish between errors, fake news, structural bias, and discrimination. This lecture focuses on errors.

Experts often choose between numbers and language when communicating estimates. We find that incentives to persuade increase language use by 25–29 percentage points.

Our findings suggest experts leverage language's imprecision to communicate slanted messages, with implications for expert communication in policy and public discourse.
