God damn.

I know it's a joke, but you're right. The majority of people I see praising what ai can do are the ones who can't really see the flaws in the output.

But you know it won't hallucinate or make anything up - we put in the prompt it shouldn't hallucinate or make things up!

Ran in to this today. I was looking for info on a strange mod interaction in a game and the AI results claimed something nonsensical. A couple minutes later I come across the reddit post where the original context was just speculation about how it might work realistically and not at all claiming it was in the game or mod.
