Another example of gross incompetence from techbros:
"The U.S. almost started World War 3 with China by relying on.. fabricated information from a chatbot."
The chatbot gave "fake information saying that a Chinese vessel was carrying components of nuclear weapons."
And the US military was ready with planes, soldiers to intercept... board the ship, & this was going to cause an actual existential threat to humanity."
