The author attempted to use Google AI search to find an old IBM PS/2 server model, only to discover the AI repeatedly giving fabricated and contradictory answers, even inventing a non-existent model, "PS/2 Model 280," and its specifications. While the AI occasionally provides the correct answer, the incorrect answers are more convincing because they are detailed and appear realistic. This highlights the potential for significant errors in AI search results; even if an answer sounds convincing, it may not correspond to reality. Users should exercise caution.
