The same is true of the Bard JWST fact, which articles have been presenting as completely and utterly invented, but in fact the NASA website says that JWST took the first "direct" images of an exoplanet - it just omitted the word "direct". (Credit to Marco Fonseca who pointed this out on Twitter https://twitter.com/MarcoVFonseca/status/1623685670203019266). There is normally some basis for these weird claims but it's not always possible to tell from the sources what they are (and the AI doesn't "know" that what it's claiming is totally different). I also tried out some of Bing's pre-programmed questions including one about car models, and the recommended models appeared nowhere in the articles that the AI was citing. The info may have been correct, but I don't know where it was from. Does the AI just invent a likely reference, too?
