Anyway not a particularly unique experience but it was my first interaction with AI as a bafflingly bad search tool with no basis in reality. I imagine many people would have seen chat gpt’s claim that the quotes were verified and called it a day, which is concerning.

Since I was desperate at this point, I tried it out and it said every quote I used was correct, accurate and completely attributable to the source. But not a single one offered a verifiable primary source. They all just pointed to other quote sites, which pointed to eachother.

first I used Google to search, but every quote was filtered through a million other seo articles and quote pages so I couldn’t find a single page that could confirm some of the quotes (just a million reposts of it)

Anyway, they provide assignments and a recent article assignment had me include a few “famous quotes” about the topic. The assignment said to make sure the quotes are accurate and attributable.

the diner was "farm house" themed, so it had all these cheesey old timey down-home posters and I often think of the one that said "Barley and Groats! For nursing women and invalids."
