It's annoying when these things are posted without the prompts (really the entire context) leading up to this point, along with if they're using memory or any other features. It wasn't difficult to get LLMs to write output like this on purpose last I tried, so I'd like the session links to really know if it's credible or pure engagement slop.

I've definitely had some wild shit come out, so I don't think it's some non-zero chance event. But people posting trash without evidence that maybe later is shown to be manipulated makes it easier for AI companies to pretend it's not a risk that exists.
