That's pulled from an article on hard-drive.net, which is basically The Onion for gaming. Great job Google lol.

And now this "fact" will be used by AI to make more outlandish "facts" and then google will pull those up as well....

Reminds me of another instance where Google pulls the answer from Hard Drive

Tbf, it's an Minus-World article so he's actually kinda serious. https://hard-drive.net/news-games/elden-ring-is-easy-actually/#:~:text=What%20makes%20Elden%20Ring%20so,foes%20who%20once%20seemed%20untouchable.

Just like Starfield and Potatoes. When the game first came out lots of people looked up how to get 50 potatoes (for a side quest) so there where AI articles about how easy it is to get potatoes, just buy them from any store. Now at least some of those articles have been pulled as it turns out potatoes are some of the harder things to find in that game.

The articles seemed ok, and technically they are true, but missed the point.

This is Hard Drive. It's not an AI article. Read it. It's pretty well written.

Yes I know, the point is that google and AI can not tell satire from actual facts.

Or in the potato example, the difference in difficulty between getting a few potatoes and 50.

But it's not. And yet it's still posted here.

Supposedly, the lost F-Zero Webcomic (the first time a proper 'canon' was established for Western fans) was much, much weirder.

You mean the one from the original instruction manual? It was pretty tame, just confusing.

Pretty sure he channels power from the engine of his car
