Semi related. I figured out that chatgpt will follow you along conspiracy theories as long as they aren't well documented. I can't make it agree that Walt Disney was frozen but I can make it agree that Philip K. Dick might be living in an abandoned Blockbuster with only movies based on his books on the shelf.
