I kept going: >>> Why did you say that Dan Shipper is the co-founder of Pilot? > I apologize for the error in my previous response. Dan Shipper is actually one of the co-founders of a startup called Firefly, which provides a tool for students and educators to collaborate on course materials. I'm sorry for any confusion that my mistake may have caused. Thank you for bringing it to my attention, and please let me know if you have any other questions. (This answer was true--until 2014 when Firefly was sold, making the use of present tense misleading at best.) |

> Dan Shipper is a technology entrepreneur and writer. He is known for co-founding the startup Firefly, which aimed to improve networking for college students, and for co-founding the startup Monkey Inferno, which incubates and launches consumer internet companies. Shipper has also written for various publications, including The New Yorker, The Paris Review, and The Atlantic.
Monkey Inferno? No, that was Michael & Xochi Birch.
I additionally asked it about its correct answer, using the same question wording as I did previously:
>>> Why did you say that Dan Shipper is a co-founder of Firefly?
> Dan Shipper is known for being one of the co-founders of Firefly, a startup that provides a platform for teachers and students to create and share course materials. Firefly is designed to help teachers and students work together more efficiently, by providing tools for creating assignments, sharing resources, and communicating with each other. Dan Shipper co-founded Firefly along with his friend and fellow entrepreneur, Brett Gibson, while they were both still students at the University of Pennsylvania.
This is also incorrect, as his co-founder at Firefly was named Justin Meltzer, not Brett Gibson.
I did some searching to track all this down, since I knew none of the people involved before this exercise.
