Sort of related, I was fact checking some of the content on my own website that had been provided by someone who later turned out to be less than reliable.

There was one claim I was completely unable to find a source for and suspected it was an AI hallucination. Turned to chatgpt and tried to find a source with that and it provided nearly the exact same sentence and cited my website as the source thus completing the hallucination cycle.

I just deleted it all from my site and started over.

I have to use windows at work, have 32gb and regularly get browser tabs unloaded for low memory. I’m not running VMs or anything. Usually just Firefox, visual studio, and slack.

Personal computer is Linux with 16gb and that’s more than enough.

I’ve found the same thing. I’ve turned off the auto suggestions while tying because by the time I’m typing i already know what I’m going I’m to type and having mostly incorrect suggestions popping up every 2 seconds was distracting and counterproductive.

Helped a disabled pensioner recently with her phone that kept plaging loud obnoxious ads at her even while locked.

She had 4 different “virus scanners” that were all fake adware.
