I've been accused of providing ai generated information then I've provided a wiki source and gotten more downvotes. I feel like the only possible way someone could be convinced that a fact is an ai hallucination is to have read the fact I provided, googled said fact, seen the fact in the ai summary and then decided "it's in the summary it must be false." That's such a hypocritical thing to do after accusing someone of being wrong and using ai in my opinion.

There was this one magical time where posting a source got this one user to change their mind and I don't know if I should be happy that it worked one time or sad that it's only worked one time. Also still got downvoted, only after the person I replied to admitted they were wrong did people start coming around but the ratio was still fucked. Something like 50 votes of them saying I was wrong to my like 5 providing a source.
