I think this should act as a cautionary tale for anyone thinking of using ChatGPT for anything even remotely important. They probably asked “PhD level” ChatGPT 5 to create this joke of a graph, and, predictably, it failed in a miserable and misleading way.

You can't reliably fact-check or research obscure topics by asking an AI. It may know less about the topic than you do.
