I was 110% certain rv would be at the top of the list.

Considering the fact that you deal in this exact same arena... that really does mean something (for a change.)

I love living in your arena.  The rent is free and it doesn’t take much to anger you.

Reddit and Wikipedia both lean on user contributions, which can mean shaky info, bias, or outright errors. Anyone can post or edit, often anonymously, and weak oversight lets bad sources or slanted takes slip through, especially on less popular topics.

On the contrary, it doesn't take much for you to post that I'm somehow angered. When I'm nowhere near close.

It's like others have said. You really do live in a weird world of your own making.

If that works for you - cool. But you might want to consider reality as another option. Maybe give it a try.

Which is a ridiculous understatement of the garbage pile that Reddit has become. It's not about an occasional 'slip through' - it's that it has become a dumpster fire of consistently bad-to-horrible information.

Wikipedia, on the other hand, is on a completely different level. It's never been anywhere near perfect - but wiki's will never be, by design. It's solidly useful, but as is advised on any and all internet web sites, be cautious and think carefully before blindly believing what you read. Much of it is wrong.

In a nutshell, yes - all AI's are trained on internet data. And are therefore exposed to much garbage. Which is why filtering is an important part of the training process. And, as of right now, that filtering isn't terribly good either. AI is still a work in progress that is consistently making giant strides. Where we land with AI in a year or so, it's anybody's guess.
