AI and I: What is Jeûne Genevois? #2
Carol did tell us it Chatbots sometimes lied, invented facts -- perhaps to flesh out the narrative, pretend it knows, protect its ego and shut you up.
I queried it on the history of the Jeûne Genevois, a (religious) day of fasting (jeûne) on the first Thursday of September.
Well.....apparently it's a kind of SWISS CHEESE!
WHAT??
No one fasts.
It's like Labor Day with plums.
People bake or buy scrumptious plum tarts, go to
the country, take in a show, meet with friends and enjoy
Labor Day by the Lake.
I simply wanted a bit more historic/religious context
for this special holiday.
Follow-up:
I checked both my search bots and now they have come
to their senses: a religious commemoration of the
Protestant Reformation (thought so) and some
people do fast. I haven't met them.

"No deep-dive research - just a quick dip for whatever
floats belly-up to the surface.
Politicians can be liars to please the crowd.
Hey........just like a bot!
