To follow up to myself - the author asked:

> What's the first thing that Sydney Goldberg says to Reuven after he gets hit in the eye by the baseball?

and ChatGPT responds:

> The first thing Sydney Goldberg says to Reuven after he gets hit in the eye by the baseball is, "That was a great catch, Reuven! That was sensational!".

Curious thing is, the name is spelled Sidney Goldberg. https://archive.org/details/chosen0000chai_y4e8/page/32/mode...

These chatbots just adopt your typos. If I ask Gemini about the architecture of blaze instead of bazel it will write paragraphs using blaze consistently even though it doesn't exist.

Blaze is the name of the Google tool that Bazel was based on.

I realize that, I was trying to trick it into sending me internal documentation. Instead what it does is describe all the places I can find information about blaze, such as at https://blaze.build ... it just runs with whatever you told it.

[stavros]

You're definitely right that they adopt your typos, and that it adopted your typo in that case, I'm just pointing out that a tool called Blaze does exist.

Which makes them error amplifiers.
