The standard is to add disclaimers like "Al responses may include mistakes." The chatbot they used to generate that text would have mentioned that.

Everybody knows AI makes stuff up. It's common knowledge.

To omit that disclaimer, the author needs to take responsibility for fact checking anything they post.

Skipping that step, or leaving out the disclaimer, is not carelessness, it is willful misrepresentation.

Couldn't help but notice you gave some very convincing legal advice without any disclaimer that you are not a lawyer, a judge, or an expert on Australian law. Your own litmus test characterizes you as a fraudster. The other mandatory components of fraud (knowledge, intention, damages) don't even apply, you said so.

Australian law isn't at all weird about this. Their definition (simplified) pivots on intentional deception, to obtain gains or to cause loss to others, knowing the outcome.
