There’s an xkcd for that but I’m on my phone and too lazy to look it up.

  Citogenesis! https://xkcd.com/978/ https://xkcd.com/978/ Can't believe we got to see one in the wild, and with clear attribution to boot.

    I have left comments on HN and Reddit and then found them rolled into Google's AI search summarizer OR the knowledge box with _extreme rapidity_ such that when I went, mere moments later, to go re-check some fact I had cited, I found my own comment at the top of the results, repeated back to me, but with authority and gravitas, ensconced in the austere trappings of the knowledge box.
