I'd really argue the bugs were introduced in version 5 but people were so excited by the promise of new features they sold well anyway.

Can we just say it was basically vibe coded, but with real humans in the loop?
Version 5 was when the source material dried up, and the hallucinations became more frequent and obvious.
As far as I remember there was a basic outline of major plot points and where all the major characters ended up (a prompt) and were left to fill in all the blanks.

I mean he references a "murder of ravens" several times. It's an unkindness of ravens and a murder of crows. Classic LLM mistake right up there with the emdash.
