I suspect at least some AI was used in the creation of the article, since it feels like exactly the kind of hallucination an AI would make after fixating on some incorrect upvoted post from some ignorant forum-user, but honestly the flood of incorrect slop is so common nowadays it doesn’t even feel worth pitchforking or pointing out anymore. I just fact-check and move on with my life.
