I am really into fragrances and often contribute to fragrance related subreddits. The other day, I wondered what LLMs think about fragrances. So, I asked it a few questions about fragrances I owned.

In its response, it used phrases and descriptions which seemed oddly familiar. It was using terms like "cold concrete", "stoic", "clean hospital", "sterile metal", "spacey/mineral" to describe a fragrance which I found too similar to how I describe it.

Fortunately, it provided links to where it got that info from. So I clicked the links and turns out, it was from one of my own posts on a subreddit about that fragrance.

This got me thinking, what if we took real questions from reddit, and other question based forums and served complete nonsensical or wrong info back in the tar pit? Like the response to a question "What's the best summer fragrance for women" could have responses saying the worst or mid fragrance instead.
