A Hat Full of Sky - Terry Pratchett
> ‘Here is a story to believe,’ she said. ‘Once we were blobs in the sea, and then fishes, and then lizards and rats and then monkeys, and hundreds of things in between. This hand was once a fin, this hand once had claws! In my human mouth I have the pointy teeth of a wolf and the chisel teeth of a rabbit and the grinding teeth of a cow!

I know we've been saying that AI should be more assertive in saying that it doesn't know rather than making shit up, but Google just flat-out lied to me. (It also didn't completely understand that I was searching for a Terry Pratchett quote, so thought I was saying that *Pterry* would eat anything.)
As it happens, this *is* a Terry Pratchett quote. It's merely an early one, from Mort.

Google AI Overview says "The phrase "Terry Pratchett are rumoured to eat anything they can get down their throat" is not a known or accurate statement about Terry Pratchett. It's likely a misunderstanding or misremembering of a quote or concept related to his work, possibly involving Discworld characters or themes." and continues at length, erroneously.
A quote from Mort, by Terry Pratchett, about Ankh-Morpork: "Its eating establishments range from the opulent, where the portions are tiny but the plates are silver, to the secretive, where some of the Disc's more exotic inhabitants are rumoured to eat anything they can get down their throat best out of three."

SCIENCE: A way of finding things out and then making them work. Science explains what is happening around us the whole time. So does RELIGION, but science is better because it comes up with more understandable excuses when it is wrong. There is a lot more Science than you think.

Jag trodde jag skulle kunna somna med en ljudbok, det brukar fungera. Jag borde inte ha valt "The carpet people" av Terry Pratchett, oavsett hur mycket jag uppskattar David Tennants röst. Jag hann inte ens igenom prologen innan jag låg och skrattade så jag vred mig.
