Last week, I asked Gemini to give me episode names and air dates for a tv show, and it proceeded to fabricate two seasons worth of titles, not a single name or air date was correct. The episode names was even listed on (swedish) wikipedia, so it should been in their training data.

If the server name was really musicmatch-ssl.xboxlive.com, maybe it deserved to die... I don't know what WMP has to do with Xbox, but they really should have moved that to a generic ms domain. What a mess indeed.

I wonder what percentage of Windows computers bought in the last decade even have a physical media drive? I'd imagine very few. So, there's probably little demand for this, but also the amount of resources to keep it running is also very low.

The article notes that Apple still has CD look up. Is Gracenote even still around?
