"Stupid human!" --DeepSeek A.I.

Well, I posted that thing several days ago. I removed it. I had turned to A.I. for information on a school movie I had seen 45 years ago, a Civil War movie in which a hippie playing a Confederate soldier has a nude scene, rather odd for a school movie. 

DeepSeek gave me detailed information about it. Some of it didn't sound quite right. The titles for the film that it gave me didn't make sense and the guy it named as director only made documentaries. The rest of the information sounded plausible enough and I didn't question it.

Then, today, I read something about Jimmy Lydon (1923 to 2022). He had been a child actor starting in the 1930s, starred in the Henry Aldrich series in the 1940s, he worked a lot in television starting in 1949. He went on to help create the TV series 77 Sunset Strip and M*A*S*H*. According to IMDb, he had overcame a birth defect. 

Out of curiosity, I asked Co-Pilot what his birth defect was. It said it didn't know.

I asked DeepSeek and it described a severe disability that he obviously didn't have. It went into some detail explaining how they concealed it in movies. 

I asked Co-Pilot again and it now said that he had had two club feet which had been corrected with surgery. I googled it and this was confirmed in an interview Lydon gave somewhere.

But what was DeepSeek thinking? I could go back and ask it, but I'm afraid to make it mad.
