    I had it cite a case which didn’t exist. It was perfect for what I was fighting (it tends to figure out what you want to hear then makes up stuff to satisfy you).

    When I tried to search for a phrase from the case (hoping it just gave the wrong citation) it said there was no such case with that phrase.

    I asked why it said there was such a case earlier. It confessed that AI sometimes hallucinates and promised to try better in future.

      This part in particular really pisses me off. It isn’t learning, it isn’t ‘going to do better’, it’s just saying what it thinks you want to hear.

      I fucking hate sycophants.
