I asked ChatGPT for some info. Then I asked it for links to find more about the topic. Each link it provided was bogus and did not resolve to a page.

I actually did get it to generate a random YouTube link that wasn’t dead. It had 4 views and it was some families vacation video from 2015.

However I should stress, it was a random chance after several tries of me asking. Trying to pull factual or useful information from this is a dumb idea at best and a harmful idea at worst

Allegedly, I co-authored papers on organic chemistry with my cat. All the links it provided were real, but there was obviously no mention of organic chemistry or my cat co-authoring anything with me.

Plot twists: maybe I did co-author them with my cat and the competition just wiped my brain. 🧐
