Sure, I’m not blaming Ted, he clearly said he was satisfying his own curiosity when he asked GPT what ‘Firefox Nightly’ was, or when he asked about some aspect of image processing. I’m just afraid that honest mistakes in a prompt can lead to AI hallucinations being shared on the site.

The trouble is, if a well-meaning person asks a processing-related question from an LLM (just like I did in my original prompt), they may get a plausible, well-worded answer, which will mislead them; then, by posting such information on the site, it will be picked up by search engines (AI-powered or traditional), and presented to others.

I tried to take my query even further, using words that would make it clear for everyone that the question is bogus; yet, it seems reporting I don’t know or I don’t understand is considered as a flaw, so the AI goes on to deliver content:
