So, you’re wrong on two counts.

1. Evidently you’re no longer able to distinguish AI from people as the whole comment was written by a human off the cuff.

2. The numbers are not hallucinations. It’s word on the street reporting, so yes it’s speculative, but a model did not make up it up unless that’s where TechCrunch got it which is not on me.

Quoting directly from your comment:

> They’ve been highly successful so far. Raised $50B,

They have not raised $50B. The article you linked says they're raising $2B, not $50B.

The valuation is not the amount raised.

So I made a mistake reading the article? So what?

The point is you made two brigade style comments about my posts sounding suspiciously like an LLM and having hallucinations.

Neither turned out to be true and I think a better response would concede the point.

It may be more helpful for us to stick together as humans since we can’t always recognize each other so easily anymore.

What do you mean neither turned out to be true?

Your comment DOES sound like an LLM and it DOES have hallucinations!

Please make your humanness more recognizeable next time, don't waste readers time with posh fanboying and lazy fact checking.
