Just your daily reminder to not trust or at the very least, fact check whatever chatgpt spews out because not only does it blatantly lie, but it also makes stuff way more than youd want to believe.

(btw batrapeton doesnt exist and is a fictional genus of jurassic amphibians that I made up for a story that I am writing. They never existed in any way shape or form and neither is there any trace of info about them online yet here we are with chatgpt going “trust me bro” about them lol)

    Yes that is true and thanks for pointing it out. If Im being honest here I wasnt even sure if Batrapeton was a valid name and the reason I was searching it up was to make a blatantly amphibian coded name that also wasnt already a real creature that someone had already named and described otherwise I would have to go look for a different name but every name I could come up with seemed to already be taken and described by someone or the other so I decided to google it just in case and saw that there was nothing on them chatgpt had just made that up. I wish AI had a thing in which it could inform the user that “this is what it would possibly be but it doesnt actually exist” instead of just guessing like that.
