Its just so weird how demonstrably insane the hype cycle this time around is. Everytime I think ChatGPT and Gemini are improving, it hits me with some monstrously stupid hallucinations. Here's how my conversation with GPT 5.1 went this afternoon:

>Can you please provide a reference for the assertion you just made

>Sure, here it is: <link>

> 404, please double check

> I apologize for the mistake, I have double checked, here is the corrected link: <link>

> Still 404, please always double check a link by actually visiting and reading it

x5 before I gave up.
