Interesting timing, because I think it was in March when I had a chat with Gemini about what the heck these things are supposed to be called, and that's where I first heard the term.

It's probably just a coincidence. But that would be pretty interesting if we have an example of some kind of memetic phenomenon where one or more popular LLMs makes a claim that people then start to repeat as true, or at least follow up on it and start writing about it, and in so doing the claim becomes true. Even if it didn't happen in this case, I feel like it's only a matter of time.
