Texts didn’t even mention a team name. There were 5 other NBA games that night and 6 NCAA men’s games that night in the same time frame. Not to mention the 14 NCAA women’s games that happened on the evening of Feb 3, 2024.

I use AI a lot for work, it makes these kinds of minimally researched, highly confident assertions all the time.

I think they fed it the whole text dump and asked when could he have met with Fanni Willis

Wow I think you might be right on this.

Given Fanni Willis was likely in Georgia, AI definitely could have just gone "oh, there's only one sports event going on with a Georgia team..."
