Here Google Bard agrees that there was a major earthquake in Bangor, Maine yesterday, and one in Boston today. I can claim that any natural disaster has befallen anywhere in the world—a tsunami striking Nauru in 1998, a cyclone heading straight for Indonesia today, a deeply improbable avalanche on “Mount Saint Togo” in Togo—and Bard just goes along with it.

I've ceased to be surprised by this. LLMs are a sort of an improv partner that defaults to "yes, and” in any interaction.
