Describe the Bogleheads in the style of a "Dick and Jane" learn to read book

See Dick.
See Dick invest.
Dick buys an index fund.
It is simple.
It is smart.

See Jane.
Jane likes to save money.
Jane does not pay high fees.
Jane holds her fund.
Good job, Jane!

Look at Spot.
Spot is running.
Spot is chasing stocks.
Oh no, Spot!
Do not chase stocks!
Come back, Spot!

See Dick and Jane.
They do not run after the market.
They stay calm.
They buy and hold.
See their money grow.
Watch it grow slow and steady.

Good Dick! Good Jane!
They follow the plan.
Be like Dick.
Be like Jane.
Be a Boglehead.

I did look into that, was tempted but didn't bite because the problem still is what the tech industry euphemistically refers to as "hallucinations." I'd be more tempted if I had a project that I thought could be accurately facilitated by a bot.
Please explain "hallucinations" and why they are a problem. *naive but learning....*.
Here's one good explanation of chatbot hallucinations, but there are many more:
This tendency to make things up—known as hallucination—is one of the biggest obstacles holding chatbots back from more widespread adoption. Why do they do it? And why can’t we fix it

That's pretty funny, and now that you mention it, I have caught GPT making stuff up in the past. GPT is a bad liar. One needs to be skeptical, just as one needs to be skeptical of anything they read online, or in a book or news source.

That said, isn't guessing how Feynman would describe something, basically a hallucination by definition?
I don't know what you have to lose.

If hallucination is the tendency to make things up, how would that apply to guessing how Feynman would describe something?

You are right. I am the fallible one.
Guessing is different than making things up.

That said, hallucinating is as well, is it not?
