It’s one thing to read about how bad this technology is, and it’s quite another to experience it.

I am writing a brief history about a particular industry that was prominent in my town, but it’s not generally recognized. It is overshadowed by other people/events at the time, such as… Well, Thomas Edison.

In examining the key players in this other industry, a New York Times obituary told me a particular person had one son and two daughters. AI had access to this obituary. After AI was through with assembling his history, however, he had:

– – One daughter only, who went to France, and came back to live with him in the latter third of his life. Not even remotely possible, as there were other articles, documenting her presence in France at that time.

– – One son, who was a major general, just like his father. However, the New York Times obituary did not mention his father being a major general. Huh?

These are only two examples of conflicts and contradictions. There were many more. I felt like.AI took history and put it in a blender.
