Comment by musculus

Good catch. You are absolutely right.

My native language is Polish. I conducted the original research and discovered the 'square root proof fabrication' during sessions in Polish. I then reproduced the effect in a clean session for this case study.

Since my written English is not fluent enough for a technical essay, I used Gemini as a translator and editor to structure my findings. I am aware of the irony of using an LLM to complain about LLM hallucinations, but it was the most efficient way to share these findings with an international audience.
