to be fair, I'd assume the same meaning. Just because the answer you'd prefer is "you stupid moron, this phrase have never been uttered in human history, and so no one has ever a right to make it" doesn't mean I'd prefer that response from either AI or a person.

The point of the made up saying is to demonstrate that LLMs are just yes men.

What if you mishear a saying or phrase you hear in the street? You ask an LLM and it confidently tells you some BS about what it means, how often it's used, and it's origins. Even providing sources that lead to, at best, unrelated phrases.

How is that helpful?

A real person would likely say, "I've never heard that one before" rather than try to gaslight you (hopefully!)
