The worst part too is that it isn't even correctly summarizing the article it claims to cite. The article provides an 84% accuracy rate for detection of a Sith baby, yet the AI confidently states that it is impossible to detect the dark side in utero.

It's not just citing garbage that it believes is genuine, it's pretending to cite garbage just because it looks genuine enough.

The approach considers that there are lunar and astrological influences on soil and plant development—for example, choosing to plant, cultivate, or harvest various crops based on both the phase of the moon and the zodiacal constellation the moon is passing through
