This is actually a new low. We've always had to contend with people
putting up outdated or just wrong information on web pages, and there's
little we can do about it. Witness all the outdated information about
THP that's based on code that's been deleted for over a decade.
But now we've got AI trained on all this wrong/ out of date information,
and, er, "enthusiasts" who are trying to change the correct information
in the kernel to match what the deluded AI "thinks" should be true.
Let that sink in.
