Why do AIs keep putting fake citations into cases they generate? An AI just regurgitates what it finds in its data set after all...

No, they actually don't. What they do is regurgitate the sequence of tokens most likely to follow the current token based on a model generated from the training data. They certainly can regurgitate the exact contents of the training data set, but they can equally make up strings based on the model weights. That's what makes their output so pernicious: since it's what would likely follow, we see it as plausible and don't immediately flag it as something we need to check on. The only way to find the problems then is to check everything regardless of how plausible it appears to be.

Dude, my claim isn't over some unknowable information lost to time; you can look at old game catalogues and gaming magazines and they have the prices right there.

Here's SSI's 1984 catalogue:

Look at the price list for EA and all its companies from 1987:

[...] giving our existing users another surface for agent collaboration that simply doesn't exist anywhere else. Email isn't just another app; it's where professionals spend significant portions of their day, and it's the perfect staging ground for orchestrating multiple AI agents simultaneously

Did you understand anything in that marketdroid BS? I didn't.

All this screams to me is: avoid - avoid - avoid.

It's becoming a selling point.

Hell, I even watched a video leaked from some OnlyFans account that had the preamble "This content creator prides herself in making her own content herself entirely: no AI bullshit involved!" If the porn industry rejects it, you know it's bad for business.
