Maybe they mean a PhD in gaslighting. That’s all I ever get from AI search results, and worse AI SEO spam that has ruined DDG results.

Try finding out when the Walmart Car seat recycling program is this year. A dozen spam blogs will tell you it’s this April, late May, last October 2026, and ended already. Some say it’s officially announced (Walmart has no info about this years event) but never provide a link to the announcement and it’s all just hallucinated bullshit that is there because there is an info vacuum on the terms you searched.

It’s killing what was left of the moderately useful internet.
