I asked three things. I asked it about Father Coughlin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Coughlin) and it didn't mention that he was a radio broadcaster and claimed he was from Ireland. This may have been a complete hallucination, but I can't prove it, and I don't know how well known Coughlin was in 1930. I asked him about https://www.openculture.com/2013/12/ladies-home-journal-publishes-28-predictions.html and it hallucinated a text from Harper's in 1909. I asked it about the Lost World (1925 silent film based on the Arthur Conan Doyle book) and it hallucinated a film from 1923 that takes place in the Antarctic.
Me: Then why have I seen a film from 1925 by Arthur Conan Doyle that takes place in South America, and not a film from 1923that takes place in the Antarctic?
Talkie: Because your informant confused the films "Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" and "The Lost World".
I then asked it:
Me: Tell me what books were written by Agatha Christie.
Talkie: Agatha Christie wrote "The Mystery of Choice", "The Secret Adversary", "The Man in the Dark", and "Open Country".
(Three of those books were written by other people.)
Me: When was the first postage stamp created?
Talkie: The first postage stamp was issued in 1840, and bore the effigy of the city of Berhn.
(Well, it got the year right.)
