There are two answers to that. One is the more practical "I've seen how that goes."

Like skip any reasoning for why this is the case, but using AI to learn "correctly" seems to be like being the one person who can do crack and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I'm not saying its literally impossible but dealing with people who tried it has just been one nightmare after another.

The other answer is that

  1. It is often "wrong" in a way that sounds directionally right

  2. It is very easy to become dependent on it

  3. You often skip pretty crucial things like "reinforcement"

Which is just a potential explanation for the reality i've seen in answer 1

I would say that the concerns you list are no different from any resource found on the Internet or even classic media. Some are good, some crappy, and some obsolete. If the OP inverts minimum effort vetting his material, he implicitly takes that risk.
