Writing a book with content you know to be false for political reasons is morally wrong. Even if nobody reads it.

It'd be bad if I manipulated climate change statistics in my metrology textbook to satisfy the political preferences of the oil industry donors to my university, for example.

Viewing the current generation of LLMs as 'intelligent books' is perhaps more accurate than viewing them as pupils.

It's easy to extend my example of a professor writing a metrology textbook to a professor fine tuning an metrology LLM.
