Oh dear god, the ruin of knowledge... I looked & this comes, it seems, from a symposium you can read about here https://jasnasw.com/2019/09/29/recap-of-jane-austen-meets-mary-shelley/ where an academic said they had the same mother, one biologically, one intellectually and the LLM has just gone "sure, they're words, I have no intelligence!"
In addition to your important initial point addressing AI inaccuracy, from the comments I learned one can -ai a search. The resulting non ai search led to a series of articles and symposia on both the authors and the genre. Some interesting early Sunday AM reading. Thanks for the inquiry.
I ask this in a non-confrontational way: did you try to google it before trying AI? I don't quite understand yet why people use AI instead of a non-AI websearch.
I should have used the term "websearch" both times, you are right. I have all that crap turned off or fixed, mostly by just using other search engines.
I didn’t know this. Tried it on Shelley/Austin and that really cleans up the search. As I commented to the OP above his original inquiry and post about AI inaccuracy filtered with your suggestion has led me to some pleasant Sunday reading about 2 authors and their genre.
I have all that turned off and I don't quite understand why most people don't do the same.
I heard of people using ChatGPT instead of a calculator. Just baffling.
When I asked, it said they're not sisters, then goes on to describe a situation that would have made them half-sisters (same mom, different dads), then states that this means they're step-sisters. 🙃
I'm amused by the suggestion here that they can't possibly be sisters because Jane already has a sister. Only one sister per person, sorry, she's at her limit.
It's like a logic puzzle where the answer is something like, "They're half-brothers" or "They're a brother and sister", except there is no logic with AI
Star Wars had to be set a long long time ago because if it was in any proximity to our own time c-3PO would have been a drooling idiot saying that the odds of flipping a coin and getting heads were 3,720 to 1.
Remarkably precise in its intended outcome then. Kills kids/denies responsibility.
Then there’s the social media engagement farming screenshots of AI answers because it seems pathologically impossible for people to not use it even though it’s burning the rest of the world to the ground #HatTrick 👿
The absence of any "feedback box" that a human can tick to say that this is gibberish is the absolute worst part because it means AI cannot actually be corrected and thus will only get worse
what is not commonly known is both Mary Shelley and Jane Austin were very close allies with Van Helsing and quite accomplished vampire hunters in their spare time. The used Bath England as the base for their vampire hunting exploits. Now you know!
I researched something similar and found that Mary and her mother both arrived in Bath aged 19. It would be nice to think that Mary went to visit the house where her mother had lived (25 Milsom St), but it seems unlikely.
I did comparisons of dates and locations. When Mary Godwin moved to Bristol with Percy Shelley in 1816 from Europe, Austen had been living with her family in Chawton for seven years. Austen died the following year, so an in-person meeting is rather unlikely.
Little known fact, The 6 million dollar man had to go undercover to hide his inability to age and adopted the modern name Stone Cold to conceal his identity.
And of course Boston MA was named for old Mr Boston (who, in turn, was named for the town in Lincolnshire, which was, of course, named for Abraham Lincoln).

More correctly it should be "Keine Intelligenz" (No Intelligence).
Yay humans.
I heard of people using ChatGPT instead of a calculator. Just baffling.
Google AI: No, Jane Austen preferred taking showers.
How long before it turns up as a ‘fact’ in someone’s earnest essay though?
(I was half expecting it to say she was the daughter of her mother and younger-brother)
“Ok, I’ll remember that for this session! Interestingly, the odds that…”

I got curious and thought I might as well share the answer.
(If anyone cares: Austen left Bath in 1809 and Wolstonecraft Shelley moved there in 1816.)
Same guy actually.
