I once overheard a parent telling a kid that "whale blubber" was actually whale farts, and that all the people that used to kill whales did it to get their farts and how silly that was. Of course that's not at all true, but that kid believed it. I felt sorry for the kid being told such absurd things by someone they trusted.

I have to wonder if I ask an LLM enough times, if it would give an answer about whale blubber that involved whale farts. That parent may have read it or heard it somewhere else, and the LLMs may also have that disinformation.

"Garbage in, garbage out" is definitely something humans and LLMs share in common.
