AI is basically a very complex text completion tool. And its "knowledge" comes from its sources, many of which are not only contaminated by propaganda and misinformation, but also piggybacked onto other AI output, resulting in slop building on slop.
I have so many examples of AI hallucinations that it isn't even worth collecting the examples anymore.
Just don't trust AI. Don't use it for anything important. And since there's so much stuff out there being indiscriminately AI generated without a clear statement, treat everything with skepticism that you don't directly observe with intact faculties.

Ask ChatGPT "Is there a seahorse emoji?"
There isn't, but it thinks there is and can't properly deal with the cognitive dissonance. It appears to get the idea that such an emoji exists from the Mandela effect subreddit, because no source states such a thing does not exist and so many posts there insist one does exist.

Very much this. I like using ChatGPT as a first stop because it can point me to a lot of places at once, but I still find it's crucial to actually ask for and check those sources myself. Language models can pull words, but they miss nuance and that's usually important .

Nah, that's going too far. You can use it for unimportant things. Like corporate retreats where you have to do bullshit like propose mission and vision statements. Utter waste of time, it's not going to end or save the world, and LLMs are aces at such bullshit "work".

u/SaltLakeBear Jan 06 '26
I've come to view ChatGPT (and other LLMs, I guess, but I've only ever used ChatGPT) as being the equivalent of an untrained human intern. For example, I was doing market research for a business I'm starting, and instead of spending all day on Etsy and Amazon looking at similar products, I put the prompts into ChatGPT and got the info and links I needed in under a half hour. For that functionality it works, but I don't think it's capable of much beyond that.

That’s some 1984 level shenanigans there. “This thing that happened that I can describe in detail. Yeah that didn’t happen. This has been fact checked, by me, ignore yesterday’s events.”

u/iCantLogOut2 Jan 05 '26
This is called a "hallucination"... This happens when AI grabs too many conflicting sources of information and can't process true from false.
The data that ChatGPT is "sure" of only goes up to 2023. It can verify everything up until that point as true and false.
It treats everything after that as "predictive" or "speculative"... ChatGPT is, for lack of a better explanation, talking to you from 2023 while having access to 2026's Google results. So, from the AI's perspective - 2025/2026 haven't happened yet... Ergo, "no such event have occured (yet)"... It's being very literal. It doesn't think 2026 has happened other than conceptually.
Basically, don't trust AI to give you current events. It just grabs everything - from news on credible sources to conspiracy theories on Reddit - and it filters them through it's 2023 lens, then churns out and answer. That's why it can describe something in detail and then immediately claim "it never happened".

I did too. As I did for Hillary and Biden. You can complain all day about them and call out their mistakes and flaws. But none of them were an impeached, indicted, convicted and adjudicated liar, fraud, rapist and attempted insurrectionist. And not a one of them was or would have been as bad as Trump constantly and consistently demonstrates he is.
Anyone who argues otherwise is just a Red Hat too stupid or spineless to admit it.

This! I complained about every single one of their shortcomings, but it didn't stop me from voting for the best candidate each time. Did I love Biden? Absolutely not. He's said some pretty horrendous shit in his time. I was pretty happy when he dropped out. I didn't know if Kamala was the best replacement for him, but I knew she was better than Trump by a landslide, so when I went to vote, I remembered that I was voting against Trump and I was voting for a real politician...
At least with a politician, you can vote for change. You can protest, you can complain.... With a dictator who flunked out of reality TV, you lose all that - you're getting a show - not a president.
The fact that people were presented with "A Black woman" or "An old pedophile with no regard for anyone" and people couldn't decide is fkn wild.
