Random fact check bc I never know how much GPT hallicinates:

It's actually 1996, not 1998. I checked multiple sources.

Would you surmize that reading a trailing '8' might be an OCR bug which messes a '6' with an '8'?

How does the bot draw in data? does it parse for numbers first? Dates? How does it eval data?
