If it could, it would notice that there isn't a real category for tech writers eating hot dogs. It's not a thing. But, they weren't prompted for that, so it didn't play into their output.

They found the planted material. they didn't find any material that disputed that, so it's obviously the truth.

This is why AI fails again and again. Of course, a prompt to get the stupid thing to include information about the scarcity of data about hot dog eating tech writers, but it won't find that on its own. No imagination and no reasoning.
