Notabene – Grok, usiłując zinterpretować mojego tweeta, pada ofiarą halucynacji i tworzy pseudofakty. W istocie wyniki Pyron et al. 2015 dostarczają silnego poparcia dla istnienia kladu Toxicofera, do którego należą zaskroniec i padalec, ale nie zwinka. https://t.co/XU0joWDpey https://t.co/7oeO9jtaQq
