“I'm trying to plan a 22 mile trail route in a city in my state. I asked ChatGPT for route suggestions a
few times and each time it just made stuff up--once it made up a trail that doesn't exist (to connect two
other trails that do) and other times to say to go from one trail to another when the trails are miles
apart”
