    There are many messages appearing in Facebook and asking to Grok
    who is the biggest liars and the answer was clear and, how could I
    say, honnest, not influenced by the owner of grok.

    But there was some report on local TV (they have a weekly show
    about finding misinformation on the Internet and similar topics).
    They reported a goup of very large web sites with almost no reader
    (based on the typical statistical tools). Those sites are setup to
    give credibility to misinformation and fake news. The idea is that
    IA is not intelligent enough to estimate the value of an information.

    The conclusion is that it is quite easy to lie to IA that is
    exploring the web to answer chat bots. So whatever the question is,
    the next question should always be: where is the source.

    While Grok is at the British Library, please ask it to  dig up Walderne,
    "Earl" of St. Clair. I think he is buried there. thanks.

    I am just a little surprised it wasn't the Vatican Library. There are innumerable web sources about what is hidden there. Templars,
    Rosicrucians, the Holy Bloodline, the original recipe for Coca Cola,
    etc.

    yes not a new industry, creation of false facts. I think i read that the original author of the priory of sion nonsense placed his manuscript in
    the Bibliotheque national, so it could be 'discovered' by researchers
    like Henry Lincoln. The internet makes it much easier to disseminate genealogical fantasies, along with far more dangerous falsehoods.
