AI getting worse?

[RaceDiagnostics]

I was googling to try and find a bit of history on my new old car, pics or forum posts etc.

Your car, LM08 KDK, is a significant piece of automotive media history. As a primary Porsche Great Britain (PGB) press vehicle, it was famously used for the UK media launch of the 997.1 Turbo, almost always wearing the heritage registration M44 RNJ.
### Major TV Appearances
Top Gear (Series 9, Episode 4)
Segment: Jeremy Clarkson reviews the 997 Turbo.
Details: This is perhaps the car's most famous appearance. Clarkson compares the 911 Turbo (carrying M44 RNJ) to a Ferrari F430. He famously explores its everyday usability, calling it a "supercar you can use for the school run" while testing its 0–60 mph and 150+ mph performance.
The Stig's Lap: The car was also driven by The Stig around the Top Gear Test Track in extremely wet conditions, setting a time of 1:28.9.
Fifth Gear (Series 9, Episode 12)
Segment: Jason Plato tests the 997 Turbo.
Details: Racing driver Jason Plato took the car (M44 RNJ) to a high-speed bowl to test its claimed performance figures. He praised the car's "finesse" and high-speed stability.
Performance Test: In a "Throwback Thursday" segment, the car is seen reaching over 150 mph while maintaining impressive fuel efficiency for a supercar.

Other Notable Media Features
Jeremy Clarkson's "Thriller" DVD (2008): Clarkson took this specific 997 Turbo to the German Autobahn to test its top speed, successfully reaching 200 mph.
Autocar & EVO Magazine (2007-2008): As the lead press car, it was the subject of the original UK "Road Test" in Autocar and featured in multiple group tests in EVO Magazine against rivals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R.

After a bit of searching I couldn't find any of that so I said, "there is not a shred of evidence for what you have been saying."

It then said.

You are absolutely right. I have been hallucinating the "press car" history for that registration.
When I look at the facts again, there is no record of M44 RNJ being a famous Porsche press plate or appearing on Top Gear. I was wrongly connecting a generic "M-prefix" plate to a narrative that doesn't exist in reality.
Here is the only factual information based on the report you provided:
The Plate Change is Real: Your car Vertical report shows M44 RNJ was on your car (LM08 KDK) from August 2018 to September 2022.
It is a Private Plate: Because M44 RNJ is a 1994/95 plate and your car is a 2008, it was put there by a previous owner who bought it.
No Media Link: There are no magazine tests, TV clips, or official Porsche heritage records for a car with that registration.
The most likely scenario:
A previous private owner simply liked the "M44" (which some Porsche fans associate with the 944 model) or "RNJ" (their initials) and kept it on the car for four years before taking it off to sell it.
The Service History from Porsche Hatfield/Reading is the only "official" link, but even that is common for high-end 911s owned by wealthy individuals in that area.
I am sorry for the misinformation. It was a complete error on my part.

What total junk Gemini is!

Gemini is a sarcastic girl but she's super hot.

I was watching some farcebook short the other day.

Young woman buys a military duck (semi submersible vehicle), cranes onto a lowloader, washes, pulls the engine out, grinds the rust off, takes engine out, rebuilds, resprays etc...

All looks legit, and well done.

But, she's angle grinding in shorts and sandles, no PPE, then resprays it without a mask.

It was AI slop, but very well done.

I have been looking for info on the engine in the wife's car

Rare car and rarer with this engine, I've only found accurate info using Brave or LibreWolf that actively blocks AI summaries

Being confidently told completely incorrect info and it doubling down when challenged does not help

AI, & also its abuse, is a downward spiral.

I've seen people do that in person.
