I think this a great example of why people don't like ChatGPT. Here is a certain-sounding comment, which took me some time to read and verify. But Google search showed this post: https://www.houstonnwchamber.org/the-legacy-of-compaq/ https://www.houstonnwchamber.org/the-legacy-of-compaq/ which mentions > “California-style” campus in the trees along Cypress Creek ... in the outer suburbs of northwest Houston google maps easily finds Cypress Creek, and it is really in northwest Houston, and it is 25 miles away from "5251 Westheimer Road, Houston TX", nowhere close. Looks like ChatGPT was completely wrong. And those who claim that "but people will know ChatGPT can make mistakes, users will verify"... well, here is a counter-example, ChatGPT junk directly to comment field.

Compaq has moved a few times since 1995 and being absorbed by another megacorp.

  But, to be clear, was absolutely never at 5251 Westheimer. Nor, to the best of my knowledge, were any software companies or restaurants or retail. It's an office building that was primarily leased by my former employer, which another commenter correctly noted was TeleCheck.

Has dang ever ruled on the appropriateness of this situation, where someone just redirects AI-generated output to their comment (absent any evaluative substance and on a digression from a digression fully unrelated to the discussion of AI)? It strikes me as a bad-faith way to farm for low-effort internet points, but I'm just some idiot on the internet so I'll have to satisfy myself with a down-vote, a mild complaint, and a minute or two of wasted time.

  I've definitely seen this in the wild -- certain accounts here post long-winded responses that at first glance seem very technical and hard to understand, but after a closer reading reveal it's just a mismatch of jargon intermixed with tangents. See here, for one example: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=Cullinet https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=Cullinet

  The AI generated bullshit spam that will soon invade the net will appear here first. I've been ranting about openly-AI-generated content, profiles and comments on this forum before, to deaf ears and sneers calling me a Luddite. I am quite tired of reading "I asked ChatGPT x and they said:", and it's been around for just 3 months. Dang is quite equanimous, so I doubt he will take an open stance for or against it, but I dream he'd just come out and say "chill it with the GPT people. This place is for thoughtful discussion".

How did you get "certain sounding comment" from "However, it's important to note that this is just a possibility and I cannot say for certain that this is the company the person you mentioned was referring to without additional information."
