@K__Med @SmashJT Grummz found a Wikipedia page that defines bisexual lighting so there's absolutely no way these losers will ever back down now.

@MostD31131 @GarbageHuman24 I agree! What it says is here is the truth. I had a better screenshot that went into more detail and did not water it down like Wikipedia.

Where are LLMs pulling product information? ChatGPT concentrates on Wikipedia, Reddit, tech media (TechRadar, Tom’s Guide, etc.), Amazon and Forbes. As you know Reddit is down from 7% of GPT citations to 2%. Interestingly Quora citations are down for GPT but up for Google AIO.
