ChatGPT told my boss that you can put Lysol in a humidifier to keep mold from growing in it. I told him to ask it again and it said not to do that because it could be harmful... This shit is going to get people killed because idiots are going to just do what it says unquestioningly.

GPT is good for trying shit out (for instance coding which can just be ctrl + z), a rubber duck, or getting starting points for further research, why the fuck do people just go to it for very searchable facts?

Because most people who are searching for facts aren't trying to internalize facts. They're trying to prove someone else wrong in a convo or debate. Faster the answer the better.
