Notable improvement from @ChatGPTapp: PubMed citation hallucinations are, in my testing, nearly eliminated. Big step forward.
I caught the AI chatbot hallucinating with fictional PubMed references, and I asked why. It responded with refreshing honesty😃

Thrilled to see my dear friend Dr. @alastanford step forward to serve. From leading Philly’s COVID response to now running for Congress, she has always put community first. #StanfordForPA
My story is Philly’s story. I know what it’s like to grow up in Section 8 housing, care for family, and serve my community. My name is Dr. Ala Stanford and that’s why I’m running for Congress—to fight for every family to have a real shot, not just to get by, but to get ahead.
