I think it's funny that in a thread about LLMs offering up incorrect information as factual, there's a bunch of anecdotes that present incorrect information as factual.

You kinda did what an LLM does: Took a bunch of contextual cues (Orkut was owned by Google and ultimately shut down; Google often has knee-jerk reactions to the industry; Google started Google+ as a way to compete with Facebook; Google often buys companies as a way to compete), and spat out a confidently-wrong, summarized autocomplete based on that: "Google bought Orkut as a knee-jerk reaction to compete with Facebook!"
