Google's AI has just given you a plausible sounding but mostly wrong list of distros - it's not in the enterprise distros, elementary or pop os


Missing from their output is an upvote and downvote button. Or a debug function that forces it to divulge where it obtained the data.

Wait, now that I think about it why are there Fact Checkers for humans and not for AI?


That sounds like a lot of work, can't we get AI to do it for us?


You jest but I think it can happen. Grok could be responsible for tagging the output of all the other AI's as "Potential Misinformation, Disinformation per the Ministry of Truth".


The data source seems pretty obvious here. It doesn't know much about atop, but your question has led it to believe that it's something available on Linux distros, so it spat out a likely list of Linux distros based on the weighted average of linux distros listed by other projects in its training set.


That's called guessing. It should start the output with "Just guessing, but maybe ..."
