    The worst part is it’s not just ‘they’ll kill whales, trust us’, it’s that they’ve cited a study in a journal to support their claim - but the journal says they have no record of the study being published or existing in the first place!

      It does make you wonder whether someone has cooked the argument up with a language model along the way, and it’s just fabricated a citation as they are wont to do.
