I asked it for references about Hafez Shirazi’s abandoned journey to India and it suggested a very specific Encyclopaedia Iranica entry which seemed perfect, and of course did not exist.

I asked it with this prompt: > Provide me with references about Hafez Shirazi’s abandoned journey to India. Answer "I don't know" if you are not 95% certain they exist. It said "I don't know". I asked it with the same prompt but for a thing I know has references and those were real. Not guaranteed to work but better results if you want greater certainty.

    Ultimately, it's just a tool, so if the tool needs you to hold it this way and twist, you hold it and twist. And this seems to do the trick. Since it does answer with references for other situations, we needn't concern ourselves with the details.
