AI knows who made Wayte Raymond binders- Grok AI references this forum

For fun I asked Grok AI what company manufactured Wayte Raymond Album Binders and it knew and referenced my posts here on the forum. I thought it was interesting. Im not sure if it’s trying to butter me up or not though. It might just be reading my algorithm and trying to please me.
Here’s more, not in order though because I mass loaded them instead of one at a time

AI nearly always references coin forums if you ask a coin question. Coin forums are where the bulk of coin discussion and "information" flow, so even if you ask a question you know the answer to, you will oftentimes get references with incorrect data because it is just harvesting what is in the forums.

When trying to research the history of my coin club (this was a year ago or so), I discovered that the AI engines simply regurgitated all the information that I myself had accumulated and posted online. There was not even a single additional "fact" about our club's mysterious past aside from what I had already published.
(Credit where it is due - my facts are direct from word-of-mouth interviews of past members, including two members in their 90s.)

2:35 am is crazy!

Yes, it is pretty crazy, but Sometimes I wake up around that time and play on my iPad. It’s when I do a lot of my photo editing, or focused research. Then I usually fall asleep again. It’s sort of like this:

I used to think I had insomnia and tried to treat it like it was bad, but now I use it for this kind of stuff
Several of the things I’ve patented at work were from insights I had in the middle of the night like described above

Is "Ego" a nickname?
Someday, the AI's will have absorbed some much crap on the internet that they won't be able to tell the truth from fiction and will spew information that we learn to find unreliable.
Maybe that's how we'll save humanity, by letting the ridiculous become ingrained in lore with reality.
God help us all.

I know when I use it for work stuff, I have to check the references it gives to make sure it’s legit. It usually is, but not always. I’ve found that the more good research something has on a topic, the more likely AI gets things right. But if a topic isn’t researched much, AI just takes what it can find from anywhere and it pieces it together the best it can, including jumping to conclusions.
Sometimes I use it to help solve problems, but mainly I find it very useful to make succinct, reader friendly, summaries of stuff I already know. Especially in my narrow field of researching how to make “hard to make” Softgel capsules, too many things that aren’t intuitive (but that are obvious to me because I’ve been doing this since the 1980s) are sometimes hard to communicate to people not involved in research. AI makes it much easier to explain things to people I work with.

At first I discouraged my teams for using AI for design, engineering and programming, but I can see the benefits of using it for some things ... especially if we check the work and responses we get. For some of that, using AI can really speed up their processing, accuracy and production.
But when looking to learn new information I am VERY wary, as in many cases AI doesn't quite yet know what it doesn't know, and it leaps to conclusions or uses whatever it can find on the internet as fact. In that, I find it very dangerous as a real learning tool.
