GPT-6 Astra121 words
Pirate: Arrr, this AI model writes sea shanties, plots me voyages, and never asks for a share o’ the booty! Knight: But can it be trusted? I asked it to name my ancestors, and it invented Sir Geoffrey the Surprisingly Tall. Hacker: Classic hallucination, dude. Fluent output doesn’t mean verified data.
