I'll take a wild guess that they were curating earlier data sets to ensure the output was good enough to make people think it was useful. Then they went for quantity over quality assuming the 'reasoning' would be able to handle sorting what is correct and what isn't and AI doesn't work that way.

Garbage in, garbage out is my guess. It certainly matches up with other AI systems regurgitating reddit jokes as facts and it is likely OpenAI has similar training data.

So there's a chance of thinks pee is stored on the balls, a problem that I'm making that much worse by typing this since they might include it in the training data?

Your comment is likely to just be a drop of pee stored in the balls jokes that were used as training data.
