Adventures in modern AI.

I thought, hey, let me see if I can just ask AI how they implemented fork in Xenix on the 8086. That’s what all the cool kids do nowadays. Maybe I’ve been too hard on them.

This is covered in the literature. I just need a citation for further reading.

Yeah not only was it wrong about how it worked, it also straight-up lied about citations, providing fake quotes from *books that I own* to justify its incorrect description.

It’s really hard being right all the time.
