They didn't "realize" anything.

For the love of Odin stop anthropomorphizing these things.

There goes Canada leading from behind again.

Wait for everyone else to go after them first, then pile on.

...computer software produces erroneous results.

Let's stop anthropomorphizing these language models please.

They don't think, they don't reason, they don't "make things up", and they don't hallucinate.
