There are so many AI fantasy/bogus websites out there now scraping content from other sites. At least the bogus sales are often obvious. Super annoying when you are trying to find cultural information for an obscure species, and you find outright fantasy AI sites AND AI scrape sites that have no judgement, so their content is a mishmash of real info and AI fantasy info. Gross. Always huge gratitude for the PBS wiki, and the handful of other curated sites that get it right.
