I found the same thing! I asked multiple questions and a lot of things were “confidently incorrect”. It was the exact term I thought of seeing these answers.

I found it funny because it made it more human-like as well.

(Example: “what’s the difference between timestamp and timestamptz in postgresql?” will answer that timestamptz will store the time zone and takes more space, which is both incorrect!)

I also asked it general, abstract programming advice and it gave pretty well-reasoned arguments mentioning maintainability and readability.
