...I tried to tell him that the early blocks didn't have screw in freeze plugs but he didn't want to hear it.

Casting pearls before swine.

Ain't that the truth!

I'm wondering if this was an AI experiment. 

They replied to my email and I sent corrections.  Without rewriting the entire article for them, that was about the best I could do.

I don't even think it's an "experiment" I think there are tons of outfits out there just generating "Content" and they starting to us AI. Probably been going on for at least a year. I see lots of stuff online that is suspect. That isn't "quite" right. That's my guess.

The new large language AI models will help competent people save time in research and content collection.  That's good.  It will also help incompetent/think-they-know-but-they-don't people generate a lot of sudo-factual garbage.  About like everything else, really.  Think self driving cars.  Will be an assist to smart drivers, disaster in the hands of the idiots that already can't handle cars with the big wheel in front of their face.

That's what happens when the author is much younger than the engines

Knock that off you grumpy old fart!  I am younger than the FE and could have written a much better article from my toilet, dictated to the cat.

I wish we would quit calling it AI.  It is very far from artificial intelligence, at best it is an extension of industrial machine control algorithms (PID control loops in particular) which date back to the 1920's.  The difference is that these programs are searching the internet at incredibly fast speed, compiling the relevant information (snippets of text strings that contain key words) from previously written documents and generating an output within the predefined error bounds.  The programs are unable to process context, which is why the articles seem so poorly written.

Perhaps the "author" used ChatGPT to write the article.
I doubt the "author" would know what a spark plug is - let alone anything about the FE engine.
Sad indeed.

You young punks don't no nutin', we had to carry those old forged pistons that weighted 2 lbs each up hill both ways just to get them in the block.

"There are many engines that are FE engines, which one did you want?"  ;D ;D ;D
