I had an interesting one yesterday. Someone responded to me on Reddit with very official sounding words to make their argument. I was still dubious and googled a few of the concepts they threw out there.

The AI confidently told me they were right. Then I checked the sources, and found the only source that agreed with them was their own Reddit comment!!!

A few days ago I went looking for something music-related that I've been trying to find for a long time. Google's AI response confirmed it existed and described it almost exactly as I've described it in the past. It was then that I noticed the source.

It was citing my own old comment, here on HN, about that musical moment as evidence that it existed. That was surreal.
