Gemini still repeats a Wikipedia prank: Chevy Chase's 'fourth child' that never existed

- A Reddit user highlights an AI misinformation case: ask Gemini how many kids Chevy Chase has and it says four, but the supposed fourth child originated from an old Wikipedia prank.
- Though the hoax was removed from Wikipedia, low-quality pages (likely largely AI-written) keep circulating the claim, and models retrieve and repeat it. The author argues AI amplifies this feedback loop where a quick human sanity check would suffice.
