Here's a carton of the stuff circa 1935. It was also said to protect you from hangovers.

Makes you wonder how many people aren't asking the bot "Are you sure that's correct?" when they are handed a blind guess.

    For sure! See that huge freakin post someone made up above, which looks like pasted LLM spew without any attempt at verification.

    In that case, it has LLM hallmarks, but LLMs can also generate more human looking text, seeding unlimited misinfo into the popular zeitgeist. Which is a little scary. And by a little, I mean a lot.

    Kudos to Zephorah for actually doing the legwork! Most people skip that part.
