"George McBay"

Nailed it! /s

But even the entries that aren't marked as likely hallucinations are wrong for me on this site.

> George McBay

> African American chemist and educator

No, that's Henry Cecil McBay (no direct relation that I'm aware of).

Google Search's AI mode does match actual me, but the information it spits out is all mixed up with information on another person who has my same name (also no relation that I'm aware of) and is also a software developer.

Bahaha apparently only in their hallucinations. I’m not a professional rugby player or a neurologist.

Interesting, I wonder if the rugby thing is a common bias. I did find myself in the weights, as the top result. But apparently there are also Australian rugby versions of me!

German football goalkeeper here :)

well, the lower confidence ones got my pseudonym, the higher confidence ones missed entirely and attributed it to a prominent speedrunning streamer.

My real name was attributed to a non-existent famous midfield footballer

There is a 'hallucinations' section on the page, which suggests that the items above that section are not hallucinated. I highly doubt that.

I am, as far a I know the only person in the world with my name. So I searched for my name. I am none of many things this tool tells me I am, for example a right wing politician, a journalist,l and a researcher on solar fuels.
