The truth is flexible.
For example, if you perform one show of the same name every month for a couple of years in London’s West End (which can be said to cover quite a large area and an exceptional number of pubs), you can legitimately say your show ran for two years in London’s Theatreland and that you were in a long-running West End show.
Someone I know looked herself up on an AI website today.
So I did the same. Well, not the same. I did not look her up. I looked myself up knowing. pretty well, what it would say.
If you type ‘John Fleming’ into Google, it usually comes up with a Trump-loving US Senator or a UK ‘trance’ DJ called John ’Double-O’ Fleming.
When I asked perplexity.ai who I am, this is what IT came up with:
Perplexity AI
If I were John ’Double-O’ Fleming, I would be well-miffed at being overlooked.
But I gave the AI one more chance to impress me.

Perplexity AI
I looked up (4) – the source of the £2.90 reference – and found out it was my own blog:
So It Goes – John Fleming’s Blog
So I am the source of the information that I asked the AI about. Presumably this blog will now be a valid and verifiable source to a whole cornucopia of query answers.
I think I am now going to add to my CV that I am an ongoing Consultant to the burgeoning AI industry.
Like all AI answers, it’s the truth, after a fashion, but not quite the whole truth.
