ChatGPT also reluctantly admitted FEMA deputy admin Richard Serino was ar finish line when bombs went off
ChatGPT: If the Boston Globe reported that Richard Serino was at the finish line of the Boston Marathon when the bombs exploded, this would be a specific and detailed account. Richard Serino, as a key figure in emergency management, may have been present at the finish line to coordinate or observe the response efforts. However, detailed accounts from that day should be cross-referenced with other credible sources to confirm the exact circumstances of his presence and activities during the bombing.
ChatGPT also tried claiming Denise Richard (mother of boy who allegedly died) suffered a leg injury, but no news reports at the time mentioned any leg injury. News reports at the time say she suffered a brain injury, which ChatGPT failed to mention until called out.
