I once asked ChatGPT who I was and hallucinated this weird thing about me being a motivational speaker for businesses. I have a very unusual name and there is only one other person in the U.S. (now the only person in the U.S. since I just emigrated) with my name. And we don't even have the same middle name. Neither of us are motivational speakers or ever were.

Then I asked it again and it said it had no idea who I was. Which is kind of insulting to my namesake since he won an Emmy award. Sure, it was a technical Emmy, but that's still insulting.

Edit: HAHAHAHA! I just asked it who I was again. It got my biography right... for when I was in my 20s and in college. It says I'm a college student. I'm 47. Also, I dropped out of college. I'm most amused that it's called the woman I've been married to since the year 2000, when I was 23, my girlfriend. And yet mentions a project I worked on in 2012.
