To understand;

Standard is a format where the most recent 2 to 3 years of cards are legal. It is rotating. At rotation, all sets from a specific year are no longer legal.

Lightning Greaves saw its last printing in Standard in a set released in 2003. It rotated out of Standard in 2005 and has not been reprinted once into Standard since.

This is why this claim is such a valuable microcosm for why AI slop is dangerous.

You have to know enough about Magic to know what Standard is, how it works, how rotation works, and be able to navigate card databases to check for last legal standard printings. It’s easy enough to do thanks to scryfall, but it still requires some degree of knowledge about the game.

Now imagine if that claim wasn’t an innocuous claim for a trading card game. But much more serious. Like medical information, climate science, cybersecurity, history.

That is the danger.

It can make any claim it wants. The person using the AI to generate the slop can have it say whatever they want. And if it’s spoken with authority, many will shrug it off.

That’s really dangerous when it’s more serious topics that not a lot of people have experience in.
