First randomly picked "fact" from that:

> Taylor Swift ... attended ... Belmont University in Tennessee for a short period of time.

I can't find any source for that so it's likely to be made up. The fact that I also can't quickly prove it's not true illustrates a major problem with the idea that "ChatGPT is great as long as you fact check it". Most questionable statements I've seen it produce can't be fact checked easily/quickly. The old problem of negative existentials.

There was something that happened once involving Taylor Swift and some Belmont University students [1] so maybe that's where ChatGPT picked up some link between her and Belmont.

I can't be bothered to check any more.
