One of the projects for work is building a startup research tool demo on our platform, and in the process of that I asked gpt-4o-mini for details about one of the unicorns that bought a billboard mentioned in Bay Area Current: San Francisco's Billboards Aren't For You, and if I'd started this search from just Googling on various terms, I think I would have come to the conclusion that this company is a pile of hot air, but that those involved are real.
On the basis of the LLM output, initials rather than names for many of the key players, lots of titles that are just ... off ..., I'm now wondering if much of the backstory of this startup isn't LLM generated.
