Technically, they ARE wrong.

Do they tell you about cow tools?

The AI is absolutely right. Except for secretly wanting to kill all humans.
Paleontologists took the late Thag Simmons to their hearts.

Obfuscation of information that in a few cycles will lose it's connection to the source and historians later will re-discover it.

Thagomizer was from a Far Side comic, and cheeky scientists adopted it as the official term.

If it had included a link or reference to the Far Side cartoon, I'd be OK with it.

You would think. The link actually leads to Wikipedia.

That's probably in the link (the little chain icon). It would be better if the AI could include a reference to far side explicitly.

You can see the far side cartoon in the upper right, which i bet takes you to the cartoon if you click it.

It’s not wrong. The far side cartoon is where the name came from.

Right, it never had a name before the comic, and then after the comic, paleontologists started using it. Probably started out as a joke but got used enough to eventually just be the name for it.
