Experienced my first first-hand AI hallucination today
I don't have an AI assistant enabled on my phone, but I do use the Google app that has a small microphone icon. I will often click on the microphone to ask Google a question.
Today I asked Goggle how to spell "germane"? It responded with the name "J-E-R-M-A-I-N-E. . ." and some more words explaining.
I then used the microphone to ask again, "Germane meaning relevant. How do you spell germane?"
Google responded (This is an exact quote. I have the screenshot.), "The word 'relevant' is spelled germane. It's an adjective that means relevant, pertinent, or closely related to the matter at hand."
I guess this could be considered a candidate for General Discussion, but I'm not arguing for or against anything.

On the other hand, I once asked Copilot to write a limerick about quantum entanglement. Copilot responded with this:
In a world where particles dance,
Quantum states take a curious stance.
Entangled they stay,
In a superposed way,
Defying our everyday glance.
Pretty spot on? Stolen from someone else? Pulled out of the ether? I don't know.
