Default Historical facts, vs Stories, NOT passed down

Used to be we would fight the push in the car community that All Camaros had Rally Wheels, all 1970 Pontiac Trans Ams had BFG tires. . We know it's not true, but as marketing moves on some stuff becomes Fact to guys. That said:
I have seen " MANY" supposedly Historically correct videos that are Ai generated, and it's easy to tell. Saw one on a WW2 Sherman tank. This was SOO bad, bad chronology, Abrahms Tanks while mono tone voice talks about ww2 facts that were out of order.
AND when Ai says , let's say 20,000, it will often say
" thousand twenty " as if it Asian ( they read from right to left).
There are MANY you tube players getting stupid clicks AND positive comments on these.
Ai took 3 pics of people with their pet rescue tiger, and made a long tear jerker story that Never happened, then folks in their 80's are just overwhelmed.. click click click...
BEWARE you may not be seeing truth, yes it happens with videos on Pontiacs too.
RANT off..

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
